For movies I recommend mplayer but xine is another popular one.
 
For music X MultiMedia System is definitely the way to go.
 
The odds are Redhat has crippled all the above if it is even installed. Redhat is like that. You'll probably want to get new RPM's and install these programs again.

Redhat runs a "generic" player, that is actually XMMS. All he'll need to do to run Mp3 is to install the mp3 plugin.
