Unable to play Mp3's

remhova · 03-23-2004, 05:31 PM

I am currently running Redhat 9 download version... when I go to launch an mp3, I get the message that due to licenseing restrictions, it (the media player) is unable to play a file of this type (mp3,wavs). After which I then get the option to browse for a file. Is there a work around for this? or is there an alternative (download) for me to play my music? Thanks!

PS: XMMS is the media player

www.xmms.org -> download latest xmms rpm -> then install it using rpm -Uvh <filename>.rpm
By this you upgrading existing xmms and removing the mp3 issue.

you have to install it from downloading from the site gurulabs.com there guru downloads as it is not available with red hat u have to install by writing rpm -Uvh xmms on the command shell. than U can run ur mp3 songs.
