Why yes, of course :-)
Select "objects (o)" from the World menu, click "Multimedia",
and tear off an MPEGPlayer morph. On it, click "Open", and
select your .mp3 file.
1. Given that I can open movies and MIDI files from a FileList,
I was expecting to play MP3s the same way. I would never have
guessed this.
2. I tried this, and the result was "Error: a primitive has failed.:
The primitive that failed was MPEGFile class>>isFileValidMPEG.
This was in Squeak 3.2 #4952, and I have no independent way of
checking whether the file _is_ a valid .mp3 or not, but it's
certainly not plain text, whatever it is.
The SqueakDebug.log didn't have anything illuminating in it; the
path to the file is right, and all it says is that primFileValidMPEG
failed, not _why_ it failed.
I have a Squeak 3.4 image? Where do I find SqueakMap in it?
