use xmms it's a winamp clone...

if you listen to shoutcast streams or anything just pop the url in it and your good to go..

you might need to read up on installing the mpg123 output plugins for readhat... i've heard they stopped adding that in.

From what I understand there are patent issues involved with mp3 technology, so redhat doesn't include it (i'm not certain of this, though). 123? I have mpg321 installed, I don't know if that's the same thing, but it works fine for playing mp3's from the command line... probably not what you're looking for though...

Dirk Gently:your right about why RH doesnt include support for MP3.
You can get the xmms MP3 plug-in for Redhat 9 at FreshRPMs.

And if you just want to run a huge playlist in the background, get mp3blaster. It's a console based player.

i know on openbsd systems if you install xmms it does not include mpg123 plugins either you need to cd into the output-plugins dir and run make mpg123 install

freebsd installs them by default..
