The truth is my mp3 playing ability was installed about a year ago when I was first introduced to Centos and I experienced a very rapid and steep learning curve (which I successfully overcame as usual). I do not know where the mp3 playing ability came from. I am certain, however, it did NOT come from gstreamer-plugins-ugly because, at the time, I needed gstreamer-plugins-ugly for another task and I did not know then where to get it. My mp3 worked without gstreamer-plugins-ugly. -- With best regards, Paul. England, EU. 1 June 2010 Exclusively Centos & Gnome. Liberated from M$ Windoze.
