FC6 MP3 issues and other queries

Hi all,

Sorry to add a few queries in one post. But all are related.
While reinstalling FC6 yesterday, I chose the 'Customize Now 'option and
selected minimal set of programs totally avoiding the 'Development Package.'
Then I got Yumex which enabled me to get the programs like Amarok and
Kaffeine. I thought this would help me to listen to my MP3s but Kaffeine
gives an error like some xine related file is missing.
I downloaded XMMS, MP3Blaster but none of these programs can be installed as
they give an error saying some 'C' ...I think it refers to Compiler- is
missing.

I would like to know if the problem is arising due to my avoidance of the
Development Package while I installed FC6?

As a workaround, I chose to upgrade the installation. It installed whatever
was needed on it own and now after rebooting I get 3 OS. The upgraded/latest
at the top then FC6 as my basic, previous installation and Billboy's XP as
Other.

In Ubuntu, the dektop shows the Windows drives too. Is there anyway I can
get those drives in FC, if so, how?

Will Ubuntu be better than FC for MP3s and most importantly, will CLI
commands be same in every distro or do they change. My guess is since all
distros are different flavours of Unix, most commands should run.

I would like to know which program will finally help me listen to MP3s. Why
is it so complex or do I have to reinstall FC again?

TIA,

Poms
