Fedora Core Rhythmbox and xmms MP3 support
Fedora Core 3 doesn’t come with MP3 support enabled by default (due to licensing issues with the MP3 format). Below are the instructions to enable MP3 playback in Rhythmbox and xmms.
Note: Make sure that yum can find the repositories it needs to download the packages. There are instructions in the Unofficial Fedora FAQ on how to do that.
For rhythmbox:
At the root prompt type:
#yum install libmad
#yum install libid3tag
#yum install gstreamer-plugins-mp3
Then…
#/usr/bin/gst-register-0.8
For xmms:
#yum install xmms-mp3
Happy listening!
