Convert it to a WAV file (I'm pretty sure, It's been a while).

A regular sound editor or player should play it back.

The WAV file is going to be humungous.  The MP3 format is
a compression algorithm that crams a song into a smaller
area on the disk.  A WAV file is not compressed.

Will it be worth the effort?  I don't know.

How about a 65816 MP3 decoder?  Not likely that it will
ever happen.  I don't know how much CPU power you need
to play MP3s
