Are you using Xmms? The default player for RH 9 is actually Xmms, but there are others. When I used RH 9, I got the same error. All I did was download and install the Xmms-mp3 plugin and everything worked normally. The reason the Linux distros are backing off of mp3 support on their players has to do with, (as always) patents and copyrights. You may want to consider using .ogg in the future which is the open source equivalent of mp3. To my very trained ears, ogg sounds a little better than mp3 when sampled at similar rates.

Dapper, I don't use mp3's, but I've read questions similar to this several times now. Is there any program that can convert mp3 format to ogg? If so, that might solve some problems... ;(

I'm fairly certain there is. Hold on and I'll do a quick Google...

There are many more out there, but this looks to be the easiest way...

I checked it out. It looks good, and it's a script, (easier to modify, if needed) it won't do me much good - I have 0 (zero) mp3's, but maybe it will help others like thefrog... 8)

If you have apt-get RPM installed from FreshRPMS, all you have to do is download the xmms-mp3 plugin. If you don't have apt-get RPM installed, download it here, and install it. After it is installed, do as root:
 
apt-get update [enter]
 
Do the above a second time. Then go:
 
apt-get install synaptic [enter]
 
After it installs, just type:
 
synaptic
 
as root and hit enter, and the synaptic front end to apt-get RPM will come up. Then search for xmms-mp3, and install it, it's pretty intuitive. Then go into XMMS options and disable the placeholder mp3 thingy, and enable mp3 plugin and you should be in business. Any questions, let me know..

How about posting your findings back here to share with the rest of us. I'd like to know how to stream audio with Linux too!

XMMS has an own icecast plugin to stream the songs directly to the icecast server - but this plugin is very buggy.
 
I always used icecast2 with muse-streamer. It isnt that comfortable like xmms, but works without any problems.
