OK... I LOVE FC3! and this is the last problem I have before my setup is
perfect. I can't burn mp3's to an audio cd in k3b. It gives me the
notorious "format not supported" error. I have 64-bit versions of k3b
and all the helper programs (transcode, vcdimager, etc) installed. On my
old i386 box it was as simple as getting the k3b-mp3 rpm from yum but
unfortunately, there is not one for x86_64?
Since it's mp3, it's not included in Fedora Core. Thus someone else
has to compile it and make an rpm package. Livna stopped supporting
x86_64 a little while back, it was a sad day :(.
I've searched long and hard and have only found one fix to try... It
didn't work. I could probably alleviate the problem by just getting rid
of the x86_64 versions and installing the i386 rpm's but then what's the
point of having a 64-bit OS when I can't utilize it!
If I can get my hands on the source for k3b-mp3, how would I compile it
for x86_64?
Any suggestions?

I recommend grabbing the src.rpm from
http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/3/i386/SRPMS.stable/ and rebuilding it.
It's not that hard and is a great learning experience if you've never
done it before. You should be able to download the package and then
just run:
rpmbuild --rebuild --target=x86_64 k3b-mp3-*src.rpm
The above worked perfectly! Thank you...
If (when) it complains about dependecies, note what it wants and use
yum to install the needed -devel packages. It worked just fine for
me. You may need to be root to run the above command, or you can
create your own rpm build root by adding a .rpmmacros file in you home
directory with something like this in it:
%_topdir %(echo $HOME)/redhat
For this, you will need to have a directory "redhat" off of your home
directory with the same sub-folders as /usr/src/redhat/ Another
.rpmmacros line I find useful for x86_64 is:
%_query_all_fmt %%{name}-%%{version}-%%{release}.%%{arch}
This adds the arch of the rpm to the name that rpm -q reports since
you can install 32- and 64-bit packages.
