http://www.linux-ntfs.org/ has support for all of Fedora Core's except Core 6, if you are using Core 6 then here's a great guide I used.http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-fedora-fc6.html#ntfs For read-only access to the drive(s) just do the top part of the guide, but if you want to do read-write access to the drive(s) then use the bottom part, you can just use yum install "*ntfs*" to install all you need for it. I recommend you use sudo /sbin/fdisk -lu | grep NTFS rather than the sudo /sbin/fdisk -lu /dev/hda | grep NTFS recommended, so you can search all drives, not just one type of drive (hardware wise). For whichever media player you are using.. say.. XMMS for example. open up a Terminal in Gnome or Konsole in KDE and type sudo yum install "*xmms*" do the same for whatever media player you are using, then open it, should be fine.

thers numerous free packages like audacity and such for conversion but many packages have been released on softpedia.com including new free os'.
check media and devices for external ones on the root directory menu not the user home menu, learn how to install packages successfully on this directory using any of said packages properly by browsing and checking compatibility…

Try the mount command. Hard drives are usually listed as hda1, hda2, etc. If your not sure the usage of mount, check out man mount in your shell for a usage description.
