If you have the livna repository enabled, install mpg321 (and dependencies): yum install mpg321 Then, at a command prompt: mpg123 files.mp3 # or mpg123 files*.mp3 If this doesn't play it, the mp3 file is corrupt, or you have troubles with the audio device. Try to play an audio cd then, and see what happens.
