Is it a deliberate choice?
Mandriva has all of them

And another round starts. <sigh>


From Fedora wiki - FAQ

Why doesn't Fedora include support for proprietary formats like MP3 or
MPEG?

Fedora does not come with any proprietary codecs or formats, things like mp3 avi yadda yadda. If you want to use these I would suggest going to here

 http://rpm.livna.org/rlowiki/

Getting the Fedora 8 repository Rpm and installing it then adding the things you need from there. For instance if using rythmbox or Exaile you will want to do a

 yum install gstreamer-plugins-ugly

or if you are using amarok

 yum install amarok-extras-nonfree

 It is entirely up to you .

also an addition to the above reply
here is the process how to download and install the livna repo
1)import the gpg keys

sudo <http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-fedora-f8.html#sudo> rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/*

2)Download the repo link <http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-8.rpm>
3)install the repo >> sudo rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-8.rpm
4)get the GPG key sudo rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-livna

Good Luck!
