download and install mplayer from this link

that is only the command line version so you will also want the graphical interface from

I use MPlayer to play all my avi's and things and while looking at it there's an option to run vcd too.

I use Fedora Core 3 which is a spin off of redhat and contains yum so all i did was "yum search mplayer" (as root) to see if there was a version of it in the repositories, there was so i did "yum install mplayer" and it was fine.

to use it i just type mplayer <path_to_file> and it works.

Mplayer can be found here
Code:

looking at the site i can already see redhat specific RPM's

I did try totem as well but it wouldn;t run the movie i wanted to so didn't see the point.

You could always try VLC
Code:

the site says they don't support RH specific RPM's but the fdora ones work quite well on it so you could give that a shot.

As for music i use XMMS
Code:

http://www.xmms.org/download.php
which is like the winamp of Linux, they also have redhat 9 specific RPM's.

Hope this helps

I'm new to it myself so any more technical things someone else will have to help with :)
