How To Install K3B MP3 Audio Decoder Plugin

When starting K3B, a friend of mine complained about a MP3 decoder message that appears everytime he starts K3B. The K3B warning message is similar below

Mp3 Audio Decoder plugin not found.
K3b could not load or find the Mp3 decoder plugin. This means that you will not be able to create Audio CDs from Mp3 files. Many Linux distributions do not include Mp3 support for legal reasons.
Solution: To enable Mp3 support, please install the MAD Mp3 decoding library as well as the K3b MAD Mp3 decoder plugin (the latter may already be installed but not functional due to the missing libmad)

K3B is an opensource CD/DVD linux burning software that has a lot of useful and creative features on handling copying CD/DVD images and data. However, there are propriety library modules and rpms that were not included with the releases of Fedora for legal reasons.

To make use of a feature-rich and easy to handle CD/DVD burning application, here's how to install K3B Audio MP3 decoder.
