You can use the free Fluendo mp3 codec pack. Or you will need to enable rpmFusion Free and NonFree.

RpmFusion repos have the packages you need

Hallo
run the following two commands in a console:

su -c 'yum localinstall -y --nogpgcheck http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/...-18.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfr...-18.noarch.rpm'

su -c 'yum -y install gstreamer-plugins-bad gstreamer-plugins-ugly gstreamer-ffmpeg vlc'

This will install the needed decoders. May you have to enter the root password.

Some applications on Fedora 18 now use the gstreamer1 packages instead of the gstreamer packages.

What I do is this

yum install gstreamer* --exclude=*devel,*doc

That gets all of the gstreamer and gstreamer1 packages.

vlc doesn't need them, it uses it's own codecs.

Had to skip broken to get this too work.

yum install gstreamer* --exclude=*devel,*doc --skip-broken

please use

yum install gstreamer* --exclude=*devel*,*doc*

to avoid mistakes in yum command
