OK - thought I'd post a follow-up just in case anyone else may be struggling with the same problem... http://www.fedorafaq.org/fc3/#xmms-mp3 Finally got me a player that would play mp3's. I didn't realize that xmms is actually "Applications... Sound and Video... Audio Player". It's not my favorite, but it plays my music. The other audio players all seem to have problems: rhythmbox still crashes each time I try to play an mp3 kaboodle simply ignores requests to play mp3's noatun is completely out of control... it endlessly iterates through the entire playlist when loaded Thanks to all who provided input here.
