Craig: In earlier posts, you were trying to install a SOURCE RPM package. Not a compiled RPM. So, getting a bash prompt after you "install" it is normal (I think it just extracts it to /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES). On my system (which happily plays MP3s), I have the following XMMS packages: xmms-mp3-1.2.7-13.p xmms-1.2.7-13.p xmms-1.2.7-13.p.i386.rpm is on your RedHat CDs (not sure which one, I always make an NFS share for RedHat so I don't have to dig out the CDs), and xmms-mp3-1.2.7-13.p.i386.rpm is the one you download from psyche.freshrpms.net. Once both are installed (rpm -ivh <rpmname>), xmms should work fine. Hope this helps, I'm no expert, that's just how I made it work.
