Redhat 8.0 & Mp3
XxD:
it comes wif mandrake too.
i like it~
Calum:
however xmms (at least my copy) does not fully support the editing of id3v2 tags. Can anybody tell me if this is supported in the most recent versions?
Ice-9:
Which version do you use?
Mine is 1.2.6 and it doesn't support it.
Don't know what it's good for though, what do the id3v2 tags do?

http://xmms.org/ - read the second news post
If you are using Redhat 8 and the supplied RPMS of XMMS you will find that it is not
possible to load any mp3 files. Redhat was supposed to have a placeholder plugin informing you of the change, but that seems to have gone missing.
Available >> <a href="http://soraas.student.nlh.no/~havardk/xmms/xmms-1.2.7-rh8-rpm/">here</a> << is some additional information and a mpg123 RPM for Redhat 8 installation of XMMS.
Hopefully, I've made myself clear on this subject, since Redhat apparently failed to get their message through.

I find the third post more interesting:
quote:
Statement from Thomson Multimedia, mp3 Licensing Aug 29, 2002 In a posting appearing Tuesday August 27, 2002 on the Web site 'slashdot.org,' an individual cited a change in the mp3 license fee structure of Thomson and Fraunhofer. The writer of the post apparently misread the mp3 licensing conditions, as Thomson's mp3 licensing policy has not experienced any change.
To clarify, since the beginning of our mp3 licensing program in 1995, Thomson has never charged a per unit royalty for freely distributed software decoders. For commercially sold decoders - primarily hardware mp3 players - the per-unit royalty has always been in place since the beginning of the program.
Therefore, there is no change in our licensing policy and we continue to believe that the royalty fees of .75 cents per mp3 player (on average selling over $200 dollars) has no measurable impact on the consumer experience.

Which to me appears that MP3 technology may not be as bad as we had feared. Apparently the licensing has not changed and the open free source versions are not meant to be included in the royalty. Adding mpg321 to RedHat took all of 5 seconds. I wonder if RedHat will again include it in future releases based on the quoted post?
