The Commodore 64 was introduced in January, 1982. Here's the C64 decoding and playing an MP3 in real-time:

Someone always pulls out a C64 demo. This is using a bunch of tricks to do it and it is massively compressed.

It generally isn't doable. My Amiga 600 without the Vampire or a Prisma Megamix cannot play MP3s of decent quality and the Amiga was far more capable than C64.
