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
