  Maybe you need to install the right codecs and stuff. Have you run a systems admin tool to check what the sound chip is?
  My advice is: google for mpeg and fedora along with the model of your laptop; include the word "problem". It's probably just that your laptop isn't set up properly or has an odd chipset or something.

  Usually, Linux distros do not contain any mp3 (and some video) codecs due to the distro's open source nature. mp3 is proprietary, so you'll need to manually download those codecs seperately, just like skipper said.
  
  Try downloading the VLC player for linux 😀 (with a working net connection of course)
  VLC media player for Fedora - VideoLAN
  
  Regarding your internet connection.. how do you want to connect? Wireless? PPPoE?

  You can also use wine(windows emulator) software,
  
  with this software you can install executables, so it is possible,to install windows softwares in linux 😀.
  
  @ash: you can add this to your free engineering software list 😀

  The best way to handle this is to find a Fedora community forum they most likely have an answer for your problem. I have Ubuntu in my computer and when i have problems i visit the ubuntu forums, they are very helpful.

  Instead of Fedora, Use OpenSUSE Linux, everything is bundled. One of the best linux distro i have ever seen.

  The problem ashutoshglamour is facing, is that there are no proprietary codecs installed. I use OpenSuSE my self and I can assure you, that it does not come bundled with these codecs. You can only play .ogg/.ogv files without installing additional codecs.
  
  I would suggest you look for latest version of the xine codecs for your version of fedora and install them. Avoid gstreamer codecs as they have issues sometimes.
  
  Or as ash pointed out, install vlc.
