I was very successful at get Amiga MOD files to play in 3.1/3.11 land. You can google around for a DOS MP3 player. I strongly doubt there is one. I did do some command line MP3 players but that was in "yr 2000" linux land. My 486/50 had a tough time keeping Win 3.1 going and playing MOD files at the same time. I think that is about the best you will be able to pull off. Of course, you could convert a few MP3 files into 22MB Wav files (LOL). Just guessing but I would think a 3 minute MP3 would end up at least a 22MB WAV. I know I tried converting MIDI files to WAVs, similar joke as far a huge files go.

Doesn't WFW 3.1x come WITH a media player? I play music on my 3,11 Toshiba 235CDS all the time, and it played fine when I had 3.1 on it. I downloaded drivers off the Toshiba website and it worked perfectly. The thing played every CD I have in my collection without a problem, as well as from a special folder for music I have on my HD. Does yours not have the media player?

There really weren't any all-in-one integrated ripping, encoding, library apps those days. You used three different apps. I remember using one (DOS command line) app for ripping, another (DOS command line) app for encoding to MP3, and then WinAmp for playing. I wrote batch files that would rip and encode a whole CD in one go, and that was about as advanced as it got. (It also took almost two hours to rip and encode one CD on my system, so I didn't do whole CDs all that often.)
