Many thanks to all. It works. I must admit that I am very surprised that XMMS shipped without the decoder. I assumed that there was some problem in my setup. Anyway, the MP3 decoder installer did it. I got the file xmms-mpg123-1.2.7-13.i386.rpm from http://staff.xmms.org/priv/redhat8/ and installed it. I am now feeling much more happiness. Thanks to all--
