CentOS - Jan 2006 - playing mp3's

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

My main system is Fedora. To get mp3's working I added freshrpms to my
yum.conf file. This allowed me to install xmms-mp3.

Should I add freshrpms to CentOS?

I searched google and didn't find much on this topic. If there is
another way to get mp3's and other multimedia working I would like to know.

Add rpmforge. Some of the same people as fedora, but packages for
centos/rhel instead of fedora.

In addition to xmms-mp3, there are rpms for mplayer and many others.
