Hi,
I also could not play mp3 files after installing F24. (i had installed
the good, the bad and the ugliest packages from rpmfusion, like i
alwats done from pevious Fedora versions).
I found somewhere that i had to workaround it:
Install 'phonon-qt5-backend-vlc' and setup Amarok to use it.
Preferences -> Configure Amarok -> Reproduction -> Phonon Setup ->
Engine -> Selec "VLC" and click on "PREFER".
Then Amarok was able to play mp3 normally.
I hope it helps. The default engine did not work for me at all.
Cheers.
