Well, I was able to install xine-mp3, and I this works in xine. But Amarok
says it does not support it. It won't even play it even if it is in my 
playlist.

Following the Unoffical Fedora FAQ I tried:

+ yum install kdemultimedia-extras-nonfree << does not exist
+ yum install audacious-plugins-nonfree-mp3 << does not exist
+ yum install gstreamer-plugins-ugly << does not exist

There is nothing in the Unoffical Fedora FAQ link in regards to Amarok.

Thanks for the tip!
