Default Can't get Helix to play MP3 files



To all

I recently installed FC4 on one of my computers ... everything is
working well so far...(thank you! oh-great-linux-gods...!) Except when I
try to play a MP3 file. I get message that "the payer does not have the
capabilities to play this file and download "realplayer" plugin". I did
that and I get the same message. What am I doing wrong here??

I'm a newbie with linux so any help or suggestions would be most
appreciated.

Redhat/Fedora does not support mp3 for legal reasons, so you need to
install the mp3 plugins yourself.

(get the RPM package[s])

Thanks for for the suggestions
It seems installing realplayer in the "bin" format and making sure that
the right plugin was installed solved the problem
