I haven't installed rh8 yet, but did they at least, rig the various multimedia/web programs to offer/automaticaly to convert mp3 to ogg? Because it would be very annoying for newbies/people who don't have time to play with the os to start converting manually or to even think about the concept of converting it. did they at least explain what to do when u want to run an mp3 in xmms? i.e: a popup that direct u to a good conversion program?
