audioplay(1) may play simple wav files. you may use e.g.
pkgsrc/multimedia/mplayer or xmms or bmp or amp or ... for the mp3 stuff.
some of them (e.g. mplayer) can also play streaming radio - which requires
option "-playlist" at least for mplayer.
if you want a frontent, perhaps xmms/bmp is better suited.
