Playing MP3 in Linux-Fedora

By default, Redhat & Fedora Linux are unable to play mp3 files due to copyright restrictions. To enable my laptop (installed with Fedora 8) to play mp3 songs, i just need to install these 2 files.
1. XMMS - available from installation dvd & listed in package list.
2. XMMS-MP3 - download rpm from www.rpm.pbone.net
