To use K3b, you first have to run k3bsetup utility as root to configure 
it.  I didn't have to change anything from my default install of fedora, 
other than run k3bsetup.

open a shell, then su to root, then run open the setup util:
$ su
# kcmshell k3bsetup2

When this opens, verify your drive is listed, and hit ok.
This fixed all problems I had with k3b.

Not sure about the mp3 thing...
I suggest making sure that lame and xmms-mp3 are installed.. other than 
that, you should be ok.  (If it fails to install by simply "yum install 
lame xmms-mp3" as root, then check out http://rpm.livna.org/ for more info.

HTH,
John
