I'm not familiar with the applications and RPMs you're using to encode MP3s, but you might want to try the "file" command on the MP3s you've just made. It may help you diagnose what's going on as you tweak settings, if it shows that you've not actually made an MP3, until you find the tweak that does it. For what it's worth, I've encoded music as ogg rather than MP3, but them I'm not trying to play the files on hardware that can't handle oggs, as many people are. -- (Currently running FC4, occasionally trying FC5.)
