[CentOS] mp3 plugin for Rythmbox or Totem?

I'm sure it's not a matter of it not existing, a quick Google search shows
(for Fedora):
Now, install the correct plug-in depending on which MP3 player you want to
use: 
For Rhythmbox or Totem: 
yum install gstreamer-plugins-ugly 
It's likely a matter of having to pay royalties for MP3 players and
encoders, so it's not included by the upstream vendor.
For a home user, it's no problem, BUT you have to enable a 3rd party
repository to get it.

Subject: [CentOS] mp3 plugin for Rythmbox or Totem?

Can anybody please suggest a suitable plugin to enable playing of mp3 files
with either Totem or Rythmbox. Both of these come as part of the CentOS 5
package, but strangely neither has the necessary plugin for mp3, which
surely is a common enough format in the music world?

Thanks,
Andy
