Fedora 9 MP3 Support

Fedora 9 does not come with built-in MP3 support. To get MP3 support with Fedora, you can use RPM Fusion's YUM repositories to download MP3 enabled RPMs.

Enable RPM Fusion
First, install RPM Fusion's free and nonfree YUM repositories. For detailed information about installing RPM Fusion, see: http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration

Code :
# rpm -Uvh
http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm

This command line will add few files on your /etc/yum.repos.d folder such as :
1. rpmfusion-free-rawhide.repo
2. rpmfusion-free.repo
3. rpmfusion-free-updates.repo
4. rpmfusion-free-updates-testing.repo

The function of these files is to make your yum can find another source of RPMs.

For XMMS with MP3 support, install the following:

Code :
# yum install xmms xmms-mp3

Now, try your XMMS to play MP3 files. Let's enjoy it!. by.msmunir@batan.go.id
