Problem with XMMS on RedHat 8
 

I recently upgraded to RedHat 8.0. The XMMS in this version does not open mp3s. It just keeps on prompting to open a file even when I have chosen the file I need to listen to.

This did not happen in RedHat 7.3. I even used to play mp3s directly of my fat32 partitions. Now it just won't open mp3s period, regardless if they are on a ext3 partiotion of a fat32 partition.

Please help, I need music while I work :)

u need to get the mpg123 plugin ..u can get it specially for RH8 somewhere on xmms.org
RH8 took it out because of the decoders that arent free to use anymore

just like KayJay said, you need the mp3123 plugin which RedHat removed.
Anyways, you can download it from here:
