The Rhythmbox shipped in Fedora uses GStreamer. Either you use GStreamer
and need plugins you can get at livna.org or freshrpms.net, or you'll
need to recompile Rhythmbox with xine support, with libid3tag-devel, and
all installed.

freshrpms.net ships plugins and modified versions of Rhythmbox for what
you want.
