Think about it this way. If you used absolutely "free" software, you
can't even play MP3's. Fedora by itself doesn't include the mp3 stuff.
Why? Because its non-FOSS.
I know linux geeks love their .ogg, but stuff you get out of Kazaa and
the rest of the world (90% of pirated stuff?) would be an mp3.
Let's be practical about it.
