Fedora's version of Audacity does not include MP3 support because MP3
is patented:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Multimedia/MP3
A version of Audacity that supports MP3 is available from the
third-party RPMFusion repository. If you have not already done so,
enable RPMFusion:
http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration
Then, remove Fedora's crippled version of Audacity and install
RPMFusion's version:
yum remove audacity
yum install audacity-freeworld
