hi!

please tell me, how can i listen mp3 files, under fedora core 4?
it is a brand new system, a have it since yesterday. i would like to learn using linux, but i would like to listen music at the same time.

i am excited about this point of view, which is represented by linux, but it is also difficult to learn it, after the years, when was using win xp.

LOTS and lots of MP3 players. Xmms, amaroK, even from the command line, mpg123, just bunches. Note that FC is distributed with xmms, but the mp3 player plug-in is not there. It's easy to find, though, in rpm format.

You can get the xmms-mp3 rpm at Livna: http://rpm.livna.org/configuration.html

Follow the instructions about installing the livna-release rpm and then run from the terminal:

yum install xmms*

You might want to install the GUI frontend to yum while you are at it:

yum install yumex

See this FAQ. All of the packages mentioned are available from Livna.

Okay, I _think_ I've followed all the instructions for getting the livna repo in my yum set-up. BUT....when I say "yum list available xmms*" I do _not_ get xmms-mp3! Would someone _please_ show me the error of my ways?

Thanks in advance,
Anne.

whats wrong with yum search xmms-mp3/yum install xmms-mp3 ?

I don't think the term "available" is needed. It's there, I just made sure of it. Try this:
yum install xmms-mp3. Or, if you just want to look at it, try yum list |grep xmms. That will get you every xmms related package. To capture that list into a file, for future reference, try yum list >packages.txt.
