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).

F.lux: rest your eyes
F.lux is a freeware (not open source) utility for Linux, Windows and Mac that changes the intensity of the screen light based on time of day. So it makes the screen darker on night and brighter on day. It also uses latitude or ZIP code to calculate sunset, so it fits to your location anywhere.
You can get it on: http://www.stereopsis.com/flux/
