I want to play mp3 songs on Fedora 18

The following method gets the job done with least corruption:
Visit Fluendo plugin website and download MP3 plugin for free (click on "check out", no credit card needed).

Extract the file "libgstflump3dec.so" into ~/.gstreamer-0.10/plugins folder.

Execute the following command:

gst-launch-0.10 filesrc location=music.mp3 ! decodebin2 ! audioconvert ! flacenc ! filesink location=music.flac

This will create a file called music.flac for the input file music.mp3.

Now you can play the file music.flac using any existing audio/video software on Fedora.

Remark 1: The instructions above provide bare minimum support (only mp3). VLC media player on the other hand supports most of the common audio and video formats.
