Fedora 11 – How to enable mp3 playback
July 9th, 2009 | 
Author: A question that’s asked very often – “How do you enable mp3 playback on Fedora 11?”
Easy. Just open a terminal window and enter the following:
su -c ‘rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm’
Next, simply enter the following into the Terminal window:
yum install gstreamer-plugins-bad gstreamer-plugins-ugly
Once you’ve done this, Fedora will download and install all the necessary software to allow you to listen to mp3s. You may need to enter the root password to perform this installation.
If you’re not running the latest version of Fedora (for example, you’re running and Alpha or Beta version of a not-yet-released distribution), you’ll need to enter a different string. Check out http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration/ to find the correct code to install repositories for your particular build.
