XMMS on Fedora Core 4

I've had installed Fedora Core 4 in my notebook, together with WindowsXP. FYI, the type of my notebook is Compaq EVO N800W, very high specification and performance :) although it has old type. That was really common disappointment on Fedora Core 4, the most usefully application is not installed by default, it was XMMS. Maybe you're agree with me about that because we cannot work comfortably without the music, and the most really suck again was Fedora Core 4 CDs not included XMMS application. But you don't be affraid, we can do install manually from rpm packages which are distributed on many Linux sites. There are following minimal rpm packages that i got to installing XMMS application properly :

xmms-1.2.10-19.fc4.i386.rpm // the core of xmms application
xmms-mp3-1.2.10-13.2.fc4.i386.rpm // plug-in module for xmms to play mp3 files
xmms-skins-1.2.10-13.i386.rpm // minimal skin for xmms GUI
xmms-wma-1.0.5-1.2.fc4.i386.rpm // optional, only if you will play wma files
mikmod-devel-3.1.6-35.FC4.i386.rpm // development module for play soundtracking on linux
mikmod-3.1.6-35.FC4.i386.rpm // library module for play soundtracking on linux

After you got it, then executed them with rpm command :
rpm -ivh xmms-1.2.10-19.fc4.i386.rpm xmms-mp3-1.2.10-13.2.fc4.i386.rpm xmms-skins-1.2.10-13.i386.rpm xmms-wma-1.0.5-1.2.fc4.i386.rpm mikmod-devel-3.1.6-35.FC4.i386.rpm mikmod-3.1.6-35.FC4.i386.rpm

To run XMMS, just type "xmms" (without double quote) on command line interface or run menu at KMenu. Now , you can enjoy work on Linux with playing your favorite music :-), but there is some noise in music sound and the linux sound quality not as good as windows sound. So,until now i still confused why linux is not good for entertainment program, especially audio and video :(. D'you can answer that ?
