Hey... what's this... no mp3 capabilities to start with?

They do give you notification. I assume you were using XMMS? Or.. at least in Redhat 9 they do. It pops up a little message saying 'MP3 support is not available in Redhat Linux due to patent issues' etc

Ogg vorbis is better than mp3 anyway.  If you are (like me) ripping tracks from your own CD's to listen to on your pc, you will like the ogg vorbis format.

Yep, great quality, and much lower sizes.  Plus your certain to stay free of any copying "issues" unlike with wma.

Nope, I got nothing like that in xmms or any other program. that one just acts like I haven't selected anything if I try to play an mp3. Oh, well, doesn't really matter now.
