MP3 support isn't distributed because of license concerns.  Please try
to use of a free audio format like ogg (http://www.vorbis.com/), which
is already available on multiple platforms (including windows) if at all
possible.  This way we will hasten the adoption of these formats and be
able to enjoy music without concerns :).

If you must use MP3s for some reason, you can buy a player or have to
get the mp3 libraries from places of questionable legality.

If you just installed Fedora, use yum to get the packages by adding
these lines to the end of your /etc/yum.conf:

---
[livna-stable]
name=Livna 3rd party packages with questionable licenses -- use at your
own risk
baseurl=http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/0.95/i386/yum/stable
---


If you use apt, add the following to /etc/apt/sources.list:
---
# Livna 3rd party packages with questionable licenses -- use at your own
risk
rpm http://rpm.livna.org/ fedora/0.95/i386 stable unstable testing
rpm-src http://rpm.livna.org/ fedora/0.95/i386 stable unstable testing
