Ok, So I am a newbie. I have Redhat 9 installed, but I think I had this problem before when I had 8 on. I cannot play any MP3's with XMMS or any program. I have a Windows mounted partition that I get them from and I even copied some MP3's to my homefolder. I never get an error, I just load one up and nothing happens.

What could it be?

Also, Where is a good place/site to ask these type of questions about Linux, like I can ask here about Windows?

Both Redhat 8.0 and 9 shipped without mp3 support. You can add mp3 support for XMMS by visiting this page:
http://havardk.xmms.org/dist/xmms-1.2.7-rh8-rh9-rpm/

Download and install xmms-mpg123-1.2.7-21.i386.rpm and you should be mp3'ing in no time.

This is as good a place as any to ask questions. If your Windows questions are Windows only, be sure to ask them in the appropriate forum here.
