I myself run CentOS on my workstation at the office (heaviest duty network admin, I wouldn't want any other Linux distro running there) as well as at home. Ah, yes, and I even watch videos there. And use Flash(tm)! ;) Cheers...> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > *From:* Johan Scheepers <johansche at telkomsa.net> > *To:* centos <centos at centos.org> > *Sent:* Wed, December 1, 2010 5:04:58 PM > *Subject:* [CentOS] centos 5.5 - using mp3 > > Good day, > > Been googling about this matter. > Afraid I am now confused. > Too many options..: for/against/whatever. > Some is years ago. > > Kindly please a step x step manner in which to accomplish to enable mp3 > please. > Thanks > Johan

Says where? I think the majority of the posters here use Centos as their desktop for reading and posting in this list. ******************************************************************* This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

We use it a lot, here where I work, and I use it at home - a) I like real stability, and b) I don't want to have to think about the differences between the machine I use all day at work, and what I need to do on my system at home. And mplayer works just fine at both. mark

It should work for any gstreamer-enabled player. It's license is non-free, so if that's a problem..... Since most of my CentOS boxes are servers, and those CentOS workstations I do have don't have or use sound, I haven't tested the Fluendo MP3 plugin on CentOS, but the RPM installs fine on a box here. I purchased and use the Fluendo codec pack here, since even though I'm the one responsible for the licensing and patent compliance audits, fudging the rules just seems wrong for me, and comes across as hypocritical when I catch someone else fudging on licensing of software. Same with DVD playback; the Fluendo player, while spartan, is fully legal to use watching encrypted DVD content on Linux. While the MP3 playback plugin is no cost, the full codec pack and the DVD player do have a price, much like the same things on Windows, although I sure wish I could convert all those PowerDVD licenses I got with DVD drives from Windows to Linux for no cost, but, oh well.

I know you want to help. All those links .. Error 404 and some not found etc. It is true as someone said "its a jungle out there." Me..if it is not an rpm .. then I am out in the bush.

For MP3s, I just install XMMS and the MP3 codec for XMMS. -- RonB -- Using CentOS 5.5
