FC2 & multimedia

[Advent Systems]

Hello All,
    This my be a really stupid question but does anyone know if you can 
play multimedia files in FC2, mp3 files for starters?  If you read my 
previous posts I'm using FC2 for the first time.  I was unable to 
purchase a boxed set so I have no manuals, the xmms site (my favorite 
player) only supports FC1 and other sites seem to imply FC2 is not 
multimedia friendly.  Since I work in the AV industry I need something 
at least as usable as suse or mandrake.  I dont need it to do actual 
production work as I use industry specific windows based programs for 
this at work.  Any advice on a multimedia friendly based distro would help.

Thanks,
Bob Randal 

PS: I all reddy tried coral Linux, RH7, mandrake 8 & 9, and suse  8.   
They worked fine  as far as the  multimedia aspect but  as you see from 
my previous posts  in the past week FC2 is the only distro that  will 
not lockup my computer.   I'm sure I  could  put suse back on  right now 
and it may run fine for a few days but thats nuts.  If  I cant find 
something it's back to  windows for a while  :(
