I would not dare to second-guess Red Hat's Legal Department. BUT...
this is mighty strange: SUSE 8.1 http://www.suse.com/us/private/products/suse_linux/i386/multimedia.html
I checked the site and was impressed with this ability, the most.
CD ripping even works from Atapi CD-ROM/DVD-ROM devices without SCSI emulation. K3B supports CDDB via http, cddbp, or a local CDDB directory.
With the ide direct approach, it seems more reliable, at least in theory.

Mandrake 9.1:Multimedia and Games http://www.mandrakelinux.com/en/features.php3#7
Maybe it's some breach of logic, but from what one sees on the sites of these two distributions, would it not be correct, then, to surmise that *both* SUSe and Mandrake are violating the spirit of Open Source by including MP3 support in their distros? ... or is Red Hat a "special, favoured" target of Thompson?
... anyhow, it's no problem for me a "relatively seasoned" linux user, but I can well imagine what a turn off it would be for newly migrated Wintellians when they have to 'fudge about' to get mp3 support. Like it or not, mp3 *is* the prevalent format, and as much as one would like to see ogg become a popular standard, that IMVHO, will not happen in the very near future.
But let's let the thread apropos mp3 die, here. ...maybe it's just that I have a soft spot for Red Hat, and I'd like to see them dominate the North American market (and NO, I don't own any RH shares!) <*chuckle*>.
You will see the release notes next week with everyone else (or the week after if you aren't a RHN subscriber and no one posts them between now and then).
That sounds more logical. I was referring to someone else who posted the opinion that the Phoebe release notes would suffice.
