VLC media player is capable to play any music file . by default Fedora does not come with VLC media player. So here i am going to explain how to install VLC  media Player in Linux. This not big game just 3 step procedure. All you need to have a Fedora working machine with  configured and working yum repositry and a stabel internet connection.
