I think the MP3 thing has been brought up before, and Redhat took it out
due to copyright issues, but support can be installed in 2 easy steps.
(1)Download mpeg321 from your favorite rpm warehouse.
(2)rpm -ivf the package.

And as for the updates, there is more than one way to update Redhat, yes
the up2date tool is nice, but you can also use apt4rpm.  Which if you
want to know how to use the linuxjunkies team has put up a howto on at
