How do I make Fedora download 3rd party software? I can't seem to install mp3 support for Fedora or any software that's not made by Fedora developers. How do I let Fedora download and install install 3rd party software just like changing the software sources in Ubuntu?

Hi akashee and welcome
Fedora does not support proprietary software out of the box. But don't dispear it can be done with some minor adjustments.
Have a look here:
Basically you will find all you need in the RPMFusion repositories. They can be added like this:
Code: Select all
[me@viking ~]$ sudo rpm -ivh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm
[me@viking ~]$ sudo rpm -ivh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm

Moving to the Help section.
akashee: Please take a bit of time to look at the home page of the forum to see what each section is for. Thanks!

There are codecs you'll need to install once you're on to rpmfusion:
lame
blade
ffmpeg
Among others. I'll try to compile a more thorough list of codecs you'll need when I get off of work.
