I have, for the first time, set up FD5 and CCRMA for a look see. I like
how it all works and the RT kernel runs sweet and gives very low Xrun
free latency. My only curiosity is that Redhat seem to be not interested
in pushing the mp3 licensing envelope. Xmms and Amarok wont play my
extensive list of MP3's citing Redhat does not support the format due to
said licensing issues.
Other than building from source, are there any players out there that do
support MP3 under FC5?
I know Ogg is better, etc but car stereos, other players in my house are
all using mp3. I'd prefer to stay with the one format for now.
TIA.

just add livna to your repository list (google for it), and you'll be
good to go. i use fc5 with mp3's all the time. the fact that RH/Fedora
"Core" doesn't support it doesn't mean that Fedora cannot.

I'm used to SuSE's YaST graphical interface. I did CCRMA updates from
the command-line using yum (as shown in the CCRMA docs) but I still
don't get it when it reports that so many files (sometimes around the
hundreds) were updated and so on so forth, without listing them so I
can't even grep the console output. I'd like to know, for instance, if
a version of the new Ardour is available for CCRMA.
In short, is there a graphical interface of any kind (ncurses OK) to
yum ?
Cheers,
Al

Fedora supports MP3, but doesn't come with it. You need to install
either Gstreamer or the XINE plugin. These can be installed from the
livna repo. In the past, it wasn't completely compatible with other
repos, but this may have changed. I'm not running FC5 right now, so I'm
out of the current loop.
In any case, I recommend the Xine plugin for Amarok. You used to be
able to get this plugin from: amarok-extras-nonfree on livna. It might
be on other repos by now. Others might know here.
http://amarok.kde.org/ had a page about amarok and MP3. You might also
look there.

Just install the mp3 plugin
# yum -y install xmms-mp3 xmms-faad2 gstreamer-plugins-ugly libmad libid3tag
