Redhat 8.0 & Mp3
Ice-9:
I'm downloading 8.0 at the moment, gonna install it in about an hour or two.
Now, it seems Redhat removed support for mp3 due to some licensing problems.
I went to xmms.org and downloaded a plugin needed for playing mp3's in RH 8.0 but do I need to download Xmms too or does RH have it on the cd's and I just have to enable mp3 support with the plugin?
Thanks.
Calum:
??? are they jumping on the copy protection bandwagon as well? or are they just going along for the ride?
i shouldn't imagine you'll have any problems. If i were you i would just wait till you've installed red hat and then download musicmatch jukebox for it, which is 13Mb, and does all the stuff that XMMS does and more (like ripping CDs and stuff too)
TheQuirk:
No, they announced they won't include mp3 support because the company that holds the license to mp3 decided to charge money.. There used to be a slashdot article about that...

I didn't know that Musicmatch released a linux version of its software, thanks for mentioning that to me
I always thought of Musicmatch to be pretty cool software ad it would be a relief to be able to use it in Linux.

XMMS is actually the default audio player in RH8.
