Playing MP3 audio files in linux (CentOS)

By default MP3 audio files playback is not supported in linux (Centos) due to licensing issues etc and you will a get a message similar to this "MPEG Layer 1/2/3/ Not Supported." when you play them using XMMS. Just issue the following command on the linux terminal.
[root@localhost works]# yum install xmms-mp3
Now you have the mp3 support in XMMS.
