Due to patent and licensing concerns, Red Hat Linux 8.0 and above does not include MP3 support. This isn't completely terrible as they includes full support for the OGG Vorbis ,which is an open licensed format. OGG Vorbis is widely regarded as a superior format to MP3. Anyways, back to MP3. To get MP3 support back in XMMS, you simply need to install the xmms-mp3 RPM created at Guru Labs and restart the XMMS. This RPM provides the file:
/usr/lib/xmms/Input/libmpg123.so
Also provided is the SRPM from which the binary RPM was built. The SRPM is identical to the XMMS SRPM shipped with Red Hat Linux and Fedora except that it uses the XMMS source (ie, has MP3 support).
