<DIV>"If you wish to add MP3 support to XMMS the Fedora Core 3 version of xmms-mp3 will work for now until the FC4 version is available. Go to <A href="http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrpms/fedora/linux/3/xmms/"><FONT color=#ffd000>http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrpms/fedora/linux/3/xmms/</FONT></A> and download (save to disk) <A href="http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrpms/fedora/linux/3/xmms/xmms-mp3-1.2.10-9.1.1.fc3.fr.i386.rpm"><FONT color=#ffd000>xmms-mp3-1.2.10-9.1.1.fc3.fr.i386.rpm</FONT></A>. "</DIV>

<DIV>I have no idea how this fixes the license/patent issues but I did it what they said and now my music plays.</DIV>
