How can I install mp3 for xmms on Fedora 5?

I try this:
[root@localhost]# yum install xmms-mp3

But I get this:

Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Setting up Install Process
Setting up repositories
core [1/3]
updates [2/3]
extras [3/3]
Reading repository metadata in from local files
Parsing package install arguments
No Match for argument: xmms-mp3
Nothing to do
[root@localhost scheung]#

Thanks. But it still does not work. It can't find the mp3 plugins.

First you have to add the new repositories to the system.

Quote:

# rpm -ihv http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/5/i386/l...5-4.noarch.rpm
# rpm -ihv http://ayo.freshrpms.net/fedora/linu....fc.noarch.rpm

Then you can do add the mp3 support.
