[TriLUG] MP3 Question

[Roy Vestal]

RHL 9 (not 9.0, Red Hat is particular about that) comes with gRip as part of the distribution.

For XMMS, you simply need to go to www.xmms.org and download the xmms patch rpm for RHL 9 so you can play the mp3's using xmms. At least that's what I had to do.

The box said "Install Windows 2000 or better", so I installed LINUX!
