Solve both the up2date problem and the mp3 problem as follows. Step 1: go to the Fedora Extras site and follow the directions for installing apt. Do "apt-get mirror-select" to choose your mirror. Step 2: go to livna.org, and follow the instructions to add the Livna repository to your apt configuration. Do "apt-get update".

Now, you're set to install MP3 support, DVD support, as well as apps like mplayer or Xine, all with "apt-get install", and keep everything up to date the Debian way.

Red Hat will not tell you about livna, because livna apps might infringe US patents and distributing some of them might violate the DMCA.
