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?

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

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.

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