Rhythmbox is aplayer written on the Gstreamer Multimedia Framework. See http://www.gstreamer.net . It gets all its codecs from this framework. To play mp3s in gstreamer, you need to tell gstreamer how to do it by installing an appropriate codec and an appropriate plugin. I do not know if the fedora rpms were compiled with mp3 support or not. If they were not, then you have to update gstreamer, install it over again. You could try going to the gstreamer website and following the intructions, but installing gstreamer is a bit harder than the usual ./configure; make; make install. You would also need to make sure a whole lot of packages are installed for gstreamer to be able to use them. For mp3 playback it uses mad. I have also seen lame hanging around there, so it might use lame as well. You have to compile it right because a lot depends on it, like playing movies too. I wold say its better to wit until someone gets updated packages. I am sure freshrpms will have them soon. -- fedora-test-list mailing list [email protected] http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
