I'd just like to add that, maybe, in the future, Fedora could provide a
CD burner and a video player (totem) based on gstreamer. So you would
have to get the right gstreamer-plugin once, and you would have MP3
support in Rhythmbox, Totem and a (therotitcal) CD burner. It's much
better than having to download a plugin for each app using illegal
codecs.

Am I wrong here ?
