But, as pointed out earlier, it does not support mp3 outta the box (like the Windows version), and not everyone wants to dl the sources and rebuild. Isn't there some add-on pkg that automatically makes Audacity work like the Windows version?
Thanks

Audacity requires lame to do mp3's.
It is easy if you have the correct repositories in your yum conf file. Fedora/Red Hat is just playing it safe in the cases of legal action. With mp3 being added by the user instead of RedHat, they don't have to worry about being sued. I feel it also protects the user better.

Microsoft has very deep pockets for licence fees as all the users pay the fees when they purchase the software.
