Step-by-step mp3 play

Also works

You may try 
rpm -Uhv
http://apt.sw.be/packages/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.
rf.i386.rpm 
Then
yum install xmms xmms-skins xmms-mp3
yum install gstreamer-plugins-bad
yum install gstreamer-plugins-ugly

Another path to the answer

I'm sorry you asked a question to which there are MANY correct answers. 
Here at work I'm stuck with a windows box and a sounless centos box; at
home my centos box just plays what I tell it to so I have no
recollection of exactly what I did (besides install and upgrade all) to
get as happy as I am.
