None of RedHat distributions ships with MP3 support because patent issues.

In CentOS 4 you have 3 choices:

a) Use Rhythmbox: in my opinion, I don’t recomended this option. This program crash a lot !. For put MP3 support download and install this RPM:
http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrpms/fedora/linux/3/gstreamer-plugins-extra/gstreamer-plugins-extra-audio-0.8.6-2.1.fc3.fr.i386.rpm

You will need other packages like gsm that you found in Dag repository (look b option).

b) Install XMMS and MP3 support, download APT from Dag website, it’s here :
http://dag.wieers.com/packages/apt/apt-0.5.15cnc6-4.2.el4.rf.i386.rpm

After open a terminal and run:
apt-get update
apt-get install xmms xmms-mp3

c) Install Beep Media Player, it’s a XMMS fork written in GTK2. It looks better than XMMS. You find the packages here:
http://newrpms.sunsite.dk/apt/redhat/en/i386/fc3/RPMS.newrpms/bmp-0.9.7-2.rhfc3.nr.i386.rpm
http://newrpms.sunsite.dk/apt/redhat/en/i386/fc3/RPMS.newrpms/bmp-extra-plugins-0.2.2-3.rhfc3.nr.i386.rpm
http://newrpms.sunsite.dk/apt/redhat/en/i386/fc3/RPMS.newrpms/bmp-mp3-0.9.7-2.rhfc3.nr.i386.rpm

=====================================
Most of the libraries that are not in CentOS, are in Dag repository.

For example liblirc is here
http://dag.wieers.com/packages/lirc/lirc-0.6.6-4.2.el4.rf.i386.rpm
