I´m using the 64bit version of mandriva 2006.0
I selected this over fedora a year ago specifically because of the MP3 issue 
as I already had a large stack which I couldn´t face converting to another 
format. Mandriva will play them out of the box: I currently use amaroK on 
KDE. 

The plf rpm source can also add packages with possible legal issues such as 
libdvdcss as it is not maintained by mandriva and therefore does not appear 
to pose a corporate risk to them
