Read the release notes. $ grep -A4 patent /usr/share/doc/redhat-release-8.0/RELEASE-NOTES-i386 o Due to patent licensing, and conflicts between such patent licenses and the licenses of application source code, MPEG-1/2 audio layer 3 (mp3) support has been removed from applications in Red Hat Linux such as XMMS and noatun.
