At least not in the standard distro since all the mp3 software was pulled due to licencing issues -- see the release notes for psyche: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-8.0-Manual/release-notes/x86/ Due to patent licensing, and conflicts between such patent licenses and the licenses of application source code, MPEG-1/2 audio layer 3 (mp3) support has been removed from applications in Red Hat Linux such as XMMS and noatun. Red Hat suggests the use of Ogg Vorbis?, an open, non-proprietary, patent-and-royalty-free compressed audio format. Ogg vorbis is very good: generally well supported, open source, and gets as good or better compression and quality as mp3. Meanwhile, go to http://psyche.freshrpms.net/ and there you will find *lots* of multimedia software for redhat boxes, including everything you'll need for mp3. > Any suggestion?? > > Tnx > > Antonio M.
