Sometimes too many options are confusing :) Will just try and answer your queries in as short a manner as possible. * mp3 does not play. mp3 is patented and as such FC3 does not come with a mp3 decoder :( xmms is the linux equivalent of winamp ( you can even use winamp2 skins with it, but not winamp 5). Download the rpms from www.xmms.org . They have the mp3 decoders. Install them with rpm -Uvh xmms-<whatever>.rpm If you get some message like version is older than what is installed. you may need to erase (rpm -e xmms) the existing version, and install again. * ogg Another compression algo like mp3 but non patented - and hence free! Using CDRipper you can rip to mp3 or ogg from CDs. I have been ripping my cds to ogg for last 1 yr - and it plays with winamp too. Most people don't even know about it. I guess in my office of the 100 employees only I knew about it. * movies http://www.xinehq.de . Download xine-lib and xine-ui and install. Follow instructions on the page. Plays almost every movie format. * yum Not using it. Usually I work at home on linux, and I don't have an internet connection. So I just download the rpms at office and go home and work with those. ciao Vibhu.. -- Linux - cause life would be so boring otherwise!!
