Fedora does not come with support for MP3 because of the patent issues
surrounding it
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MP3#Licensing_and_patent_issues).
However, if you Google search something as simple as "fedora mp3" the
first few hits lead to instructions on setting it up. A good example:
http://www.fedorafaq.org/#mp3

I don't remember which repository I used as the source but after
pointing to the right one, an apt-get, yum or synaptic command was all
it took to support MP3.

Yes, it is. More expensive than I would have purchased for myself but I
have been impressed by the user interface, design and workmanship. It's
fun to have 400+ songs with you all the time!
