Hi Sylvia, as you may be aware the Fedora project does not provide software for opening/editing/playing/writing certain file types; mp3 is one of those.

You may choose to use an external Fedora compatible software repository where you may find a version of Audacity-freeworld with mp3/ffmpeg import and export built-in.
