mp3 files don't play in xmms

When I load an mp3 files, it just acts like nothing has happened. Why? I installed the RPM from the xmms website, not the Red Hat version.

Go to xmms web site and download this file:/home/menahem/rpms/xmms-mpg123-1.2.7-13.i386.rpm

did you follow the sound-howto?

No, where's that?

I installed the RPM for mpg123 and it loads the file, but it plays an entire song in like 5 seconds ... I watch the time on xmms fly like "we have entered hyperspace captian" ...

There's some glitch going on, maybe it's because I run an athlon?

Oh, 5 seconds of no sound by the way. But the db bars are really kickin' ... lol

thats the disk writer plugin that writes a wav file to your disk go to pref. and change it and download mp3 plug in from xmms s site and you are all set

I downloaded and installed the plugin, mpg123, to play mp3 files and it doesn't function properly.

Alright!!! That mp3 sounds great!! Yup, you caught me using the wrong kind of output ... not the disk writer, but it was still wrong. I'm typing this post playing my favorite song very lightly at 1:19 AM ... lol. Thanks all, I'm estatic!! I can play my mp3s!!!
