Install mp3 for Audacious on Fedora Core 12

Fedora Core is an outstanding distro that competes against Ubuntu, but lacks some commodities. One of them is MP3 support. We can add it installing the correct packages:

1st: Find libmad rpm package. Mad is an old nice mp3 decode library. I found one here:
http://www.rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/rpmfusion/free/fedora/devel/x86_64/libmad-0.15.1b-13.fc12.i586.html

2nd: Find audacious plugins 'freeworld' that link mp3 library with player: http://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/rpmfusion/free/fedora/12/x86_64/audacious-plugins-freeworld-mp3-2.1-1.fc12.x86_64.html

These two are for 64bit version, so maybe are not suited for your version. The most useful keyword to search for a specific package on Fedora is fcXX (where XX is the version number, i.e.: fc12).
