OpenSUSE 10.3 also now includes MP3 support out of the box for Banshee(TM) and Amarok, which are the default media players in openSUSE.

I really wonder how they tackle the infamous software patent issues that keep MP3:s out of the official content of other mainstream distributions? Cannot be due to the Novell-Microsoft no-sue deal, because Microsoft does not own the MP3 patents.

Fluendo's MP3 plugin for GStreamer is used.
