You can see here why mp3 is not supported for baseline Fedora.

You need to install the rpmfusion repositories and install a
version that has mp3 support.  Links to these other repositories are
available on the fedora site

but also available here with instructions:

Arijit Sarkar posted another possible solution, the Fluendo codec.

Fluendo MP3 codec is now free. You can get it from here:
