So, why can't we add them to yum repository. If there is any roblem we can add them to a secondary non-free yum repository. I have also faced some questions from fedora users in my locality that : why mp3 music and some video formats cannot be played out of the box ? Thanks.

As for MP3? Its because of a patent issue. The MP3 Codec *may* not be out of the box, but as soon as you play a file, you are prompted to download it from Codeina and a few minutes later, you're playing MP3s. (The downside is that this requires an internet connection). Just my 2c. -- Ing. Juan M.
