I don't understand why the line is drawn at MP3. I assume Fedora can't play most of the media formats that Windows and Mac users take for granted, like Quicktime or Windows Media. Some band-aid solution that works for MP3s won't solve the big problem: most multimedia distributed today uses patent-encumbered, closed formats.
