Bah, I demand MP3 support

I’m thinking the chances of me being able to play MP3s are fairly slim…

MP3 Availability on Linux Distros (Fedora Core, SuSE)
Due to MP3 licensing issues, some distros such as Fedora Core and SuSE may not include MP3 support in the SDL_mixer library. If this is the case you will see the following message when attempting to play an MP3+G track:

pygame.mixer.music.load(self.SoundFileName)
error: Module format not recognized

To rebuild SDL_mixer with MP3 support, you need to install the smpeg-devel package, and download and build SDL_mixer from source.
