hi, recently I find it not possible to play mp3 in this latest OS. Is there any solution? thanks

You need to add 3rd party repositories to enable mp3 support.
This is a tutorial on how to install/setup RPMforge on CentOS.
Then you'll probably need to install xmms-mp3

Straight Solution:

Downloaded .bin file of real player from internet

then do chmod +x RealPlayer10GOLD.bin

and then do:

yum install libstdc++.so.5

and then

./RealPlayer10GOLD.bin

and now it will work.

Well, the RealPlayer11GOLD.rpm is actually usable for mp3.
http://www.real.com/linux

1) su
2) yum --nogpgcheck localinstall RealPlayer11GOLD.rpm
3) exit
.. and play mp3.

There are of course other music players, most with a lot
of dependencies. The RealPlayer11GOLD.rpm depends on
system files, probably already installed.
( libstdc++-4.1.2-44.el5 → libstdc++.so.6 etc. etc.)
And the codecs are included, I could start the 'realplay'
by clicking on an mp3 sample. ( CentOS 5.x / EL5 ).
