Due to legal concerns, we can't provide you with or detail how to get MP3 support in Fedora. You can find answers to many frequently asked questions at http://fedorafaq.org/

But if a *de*coder is legal, why isn't this shipped? Very many people would probably be very, very happy if they could *play* their old mp3's without any "fuzz" (while ripping shiny new stuff to ogg).

If they really really need an *en*coder, let them go out hunting.

Or?

Kyrre

according to that link, and what i've heard, having it is legal - you just can't have it be gpl, and fedora is gpl, so they can't ship it. this is the same reason lame hasn't been shut down.

thanks for the links to files though, i just realised my mp3 doesn't work in fc4 :-D

This has been discussed several times before. see http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/release-notes/fc4/errata/#sn-why-no-mp3.

The explanation is not so simple. It might be legal depending on your region. Fedora only has software that isnt restricted by patents and includes many other open source besides the GPL licensed ones
