This may not help you at all, but you can execute an exterior program with code such as this:
Runtime r = Runtime.getRuntime();
try{
Process p = r.exec("<program path>");
} catch (Exception e){
}
I don't know how to get it to run in a JFrame, and I am not sure about the API for these applications. It seems to me that you can pass an mp3 file on the command line for winamp.

Take a look at the Java Media Framework at http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jmf/index.html
I don't thing it'll launch WinAmp or RealPlayer though. I think this is for creating your own solutions.
To launch other programs like that, I recommend following the example of the post before this one.
