not, unlike ubuntu, give you a 1 click way of adding mp3 codecs etc.
More like Fedora is a more oriented towards Free and open source
software and cannot because it is patent encumbered codec and a US based
distribution cannot legally point to patent encumbered codecs. However
it is trivial to get mp3 codec support in Fedora

To enable some extras, repositories:
# rpm -Uvh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-10.rpm
http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm
http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm
# yum install gstreamer-plugins-ugly
Clicking on the release package in http://rpmfusion.org is a point and
click affair as well.
