You can use WindowsMediaPlayer COM control to play mp3.

Here is a guide from msdn.

WMPLib.WindowsMediaPlayer player = new WMPLib.WindowsMediaPlayer();
player.URL = @"track.mp3";
player.controls.play();

Also you can use SoundPlayer to play wav files. There are also several third party .net mp3 libraries.
