Umm, Linux very much _does_ support MP3, and has virtually since day 1!
But once someone started enforcing the MP3 patent, it was left out for
legal reasons since Fedora Core 1.

I use "lame" to encode and the "xmms-mp3" package to play.  _Both_ are
available from Livna.ORG, which is not only designed for Fedora Core,
but _unlike_other_ respositories, co-exists with Fedora Extras.

Most other 3rd party repsitories _break_ Fedora Extras.  Not Livna.ORG.

The instructions on how to setup YUM to automagically pull packages from
Livna.ORG is here:  
  http://rpm.livna.org/
