Playing MP3s on A500 is a really bad reason to get a A500 accelerator 
I'm sure you can do better.
BTW, someone said something about issues playing WAV on such machine. Well, I'm currently using lightweight DSOUND in CLI to play 8-bit IFF stereo conversions of WAV CD rips. Of course, only as proof-of-concept.
Problems with wav files? I was playing wav files on my unaccelerated 500 with Play16 same as what you are doing. I would use my friend's Windows 95 machine to rip a CD to 8-bit 11kHz stereo wav, and play it with Play16. I played around with other sample rates for large wav files, but stuck mostly with 8-bit 11kHz since that was pretty much the best I could do with IFF files after conversion. Also did well for file size, about 1MB per minute, pretty comparable to what I would get from a 128kbps MP3.
For playing with sound files, sox was (and still is) pretty darned useful. Mind you, the 40MHz 030 made things much better for me.
Ah, those were the days
These days I also shake my fist wildly and yell at kids to get off my lawn. :laughing:
