11.2.2.1. mp3 files
The popular .mp3 format is widely
supported on Linux machines. Most distributions include multiple
programs that can play these files. Among many other applications,
XMMS, which is presented in the
screenshot below, is one of the most wide-spread, partially because
it has the same look and feel as the Windows tool.
Also very popular for playing music are AmaroK, a KDE application that is steadily
gaining popularity, and MPlayer,
which can also play movies.

Some distributions don't allow you to play MP3's without
modifying your configuration, this is due to license restrictions
on the MP3 tools. You might need to install extra software to be
able to play your music.
