How to play MP3 audio?

You need to install properitary codecs.
Fedora doesnt offer them in their repo as they are not FOSS.

Some tools that might help:
autoten
sea-tpp

Or have a look at the yellow link on top of this page.

hope this helps

You could use VLC or mplayer. Alternatively, you can do the following

yum install gstreamer-plugins-good gstreamer-plugins-bad gstreamer-plugins-ugly gstreamer-ffmpeg

In order to install these codecs, you should have rpmfusion repository enabled. If you do not have that enabled already, install it as follows

yum install --nogpgcheck http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm \\
http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm

Hope this helps.
