Thanks Glue. I'm pretty sure I already have the MP3 support built into xmms.
I'm not sure if I did anything to get it, but it must have been part of
Mandrakes distribution. I just can't seem to get them from the websites that
sell em :-/

I'll check into my setup again though just in case I'm flaking out.
