Play MP3 on Fedora 15

How to setup Fedora 15 to be able to play MP3
Links: Reference


Yay! If you are reading this, it’s because you make a fresh install of the new Fedora 15, then import your library music, open banshe/rhythmbox and no mp3 plugin detected, ok, click on search, but! nothing is found…Wow..what can I do now? I can’t live without my music!!!!

No worries, me too ;-)

First, we need to check if we have rpmfusion repository:

ls /etc/yum.repos.d/ | grep rpmfusion



1. Install rpmfusion

[root@localhost alexm]# yum localinstall --nogpgcheck http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm


2. Install gstreamer plugins

[root@localhost alexm]# yum install gstreamer-plugins-bad gstreamer-ffmpeg -y

Here is the installation log.



[root@localhost alexm]# yum localinstall --nogpgcheck http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm
