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.
