thanks! is really good.
i think we should try to use mp3 as little as we can
any time i backup my cd for listen on the pc i do it on ogg. and i only convert them to mp3 to play them on my portable-mp3-player.

Perfecto !. Muy bien explicado y funciona !. la verdad es que no tenia soporte de MP3 en Fedora y lo hacia menos apetecible que Kubuntu o Suse.

Yes the second command returned an “error: 404″ message (still using rpm instead rmp), but seems that it is not necessary however. I skipped such step and continued with third and fourth commands and it worked out.
I’m listening mp3’s now,
Thanks a lot.

I am not sure if the second command is essential for MP3 play back. I issued the first rpm command, then the yum command, and now can play MP3s. What is the second rpm command actually working to do?

First time I installed Fedora 5, I was not able play mp3 files, this is also happen with Fedora 10, but like what this article said, we have to install manually using rpm or yum.

But, if you don’t want the yum installed directly to internet or if you don’t have internet connection (manual installation), you have to change the location of repositories first to cdrom mount.

roguespear – yes it would be nice if more companies would support ogg and flac. the Sansa Fuze was supposed to add ogg support in their last update but they didn’t.

michael – thank you for correcting that.

dotan – yeah, some distros make it much easier. i generally say Fedora is not for the new user based on issues such as this.

In Ubuntu one simply clicks an mp3 file, and the system asks if he wants to install mp3 support. No terminal, no thinking, just click and go. It could not be easier.

Lest i forgot, thanks for the simple summary nonetheless!

There is a typo in the second rpm command, (rmp). Correct command is “rpm -ivh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm“.

Always run through it again before you post, cutting and pasting from your doc.

“Yes it’s true it would be nice if the major Linux distributions could ship with mp3 support built in.”

Actually, what would be nice would be for more, if not all, vendors supporting ogg and flac. The stereo system in my car for instance only supports MP3 and WMA :/

I haven’t read any conspiracy theories about this, but one would have to think that there was a fairly major campaign to keep those formats off of so many devices.
