ok,one more thing for me please...............
i am seeking a place to download music the EASY way for fedora core 3. what i do now,is copy mp3's to CD,and then convert mp3's to ogg files.that is not as important to me,i do need to get it all working here.i have to use more than one media player,but that doesnt bother me either.
any suggestions where i can download mp3's (free or not free is fine by me)?
i dont mind writing the cd to mp3 to make a back up of my bought music..
also dont mind converting those mp3's to ogg files and then returning the CD's to my archive
also if you can simplify this mess i am managing,please do tell !!LOL
TIA all
scott

There are many p2p apps which you could use, and then a quick google search might give you many hits, like this one: http://www.enorgis.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php

Note: FC3 plays mp3 files. There's an mp3 plugin for xmms and you can always install MPlayer.

As for the location of free mps music - I think you are in the wrong place.
This is a linux forum not a music forum.

but the sites have windows OS or Mac OS required.i will look again into Xmms to try and figure out the plug in,and same with the other players.
more of the typical linus BS overcomplicated nonesense we have come to dread/expect.thanks

What exactly do you mean?

amule, limewire, torrent-based.
