Hi :)

i ve recently installed the Fedora Core3. they says all mp3 support is withdrawn from their distro.

what can i do. to change mp3 s to ogg is not practical. is there any free player available. (i ve used Mandrak & Suse before and there was support for all media including divx, dvd, mp3,mpeg etc). Pls help

just download yum.conf and place it in /etc/yum.conf Next give the command yum install xine and you have all the playback you want. About ogg sorry never tried that.
