well, thanks for that, but its not what I'm looking for..
I *can* play mp3 files (I have mpg123.rpm installed)
I just cant play winamp-made playlist. My whole mp3 collection have winamp playlists, and they are useless now..

You have installed the mp3 plugin for xmms and it still doesn't work?

the problem isnt with mp3 files / mp3 support..
i CAN play mp3 files..
but i cant use my old winamp made playlists (.m3u)
probably because xmms needs to have 'dot' before filenames
---
winamp playlist: (located in mp3 directory)
debaser.mp3
tame.mp3

xmms playlist:
.debaser.mp3
.tame.mp3

so anytime I try to load winamp playlist, xmms just shut down..

I do not mean to thread jack, but I have a problem with XMMS and mp3s. I have a RH9 box using VT8233 AC97 Audio Controller. The module loaded is via82cxxx_audio. I know the card and the module are working, because redhat-config-soundcard plays the sample sound fine. I have also installed XMMS-1.2.7-21.p, XMMS-skins-1.2.7-21.p, and XMMS-mpg123-1.2.7-21. I know they are all registered because an "rpm -qa | grep xmms" shows these packages installed. Now when I launch XMMS it seems fine, but when I try to play an mp3 it tries to play it, and does nothing but lock up. The levels move once and then stops. I then have to kill XMMS by PID!! Anyone seen this before?

Does anyone else have this problem?

Never mind I figured out the problem. I was using the ess audio plugin. I switched to the oss 1.2.7 sound module, and it works fine now. I would like to add that I love the fact that I have my windows servers RAID where my mp3s are mounted, and the playlists stored there work fine through the samba share.
