The following information was found on http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=140 Fedora Forums

I followed the instructions there successfully, and recorded the steps here for future reference.

First, make sure your xmms version is updated

yum update xmms

Then, add livna.org to your yum repository list

vi /etc/yum.conf
# Add this info
[livna-stable]
name=Livna.org - Fedora Compatible Packages (stable)
baseurl=http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/yum/stable
gpgcheck=1

Next, insert Livna's GPG Key into keyring

rpm --import http://rpm.livna.org/RPM-LIVNA-GPG-KEY

Then, you're all set to install the mp3 plugin

yum install xmms-mp3

When that's done, fire up xmms, and edit the preferences (Ctrl + P) to disable the placeholder [null] input plugin, and enable the new MPEG Layer 1/2/3 input plugin
