[Gllug] X - .mp3 problem

[Manjush G. Menon]

hi,

That was a disappointing news. Anyway what is Ogg VorbisT?
Is this same for other GNU/Linux packages like Mandrake?

  You really should have read the RELEASE-NOTES :)

  http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/8.0/en/os/i386/RELEASE-NOTES.html

  "Due to patent licensing, and conflicts between such patent licenses and
  the licenses of application source code, MPEG-1/2 audio layer 3 (mp3)
  support has been removed from applications in Red Hat Linux such as
  XMMS"

  Further advice here:

  I suggest you look into Ogg Vorbis as well
