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. Post #14 in: http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=8134 explains.....

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?
