A compact disc (CDDA - compact disc digital audio) has no files on the
disc. It's audio streaming data with a table of contents.
Burning software can take some kinds of audio files, and create a
standard CDDA disc. Some burning software is quite flexible, and can
convert what you supply into what it needs. Others depend on you
supplying the audio files in a specific format (44.1 kHz, as mentioned,
but mono is supported as well, and usually as uncompressed WAV files).
If you create a CD-ROM with audio files on it, that's not a compact
disc in the ordinary sense. Only some players can handle computer
discs with computer audio files on them, and that situation has existed
for well over a decade. So new or old, relatively speaking, isn't
really part of the equation.
Brasero, for instance, *can* handle a MP3 file to create an audio CD.
But it may well depend on some plug-ins and/or CODECs being installed
that you haven't got. e.g. gstreamer plugins. MP3 is still considered
a bit naughty by some on Fedora, so you may have to get support files
from non-fedora repos.
You're probably just missing MP3 support, even if some other
applications can play MP3s (some programs support it themselves, and
there's several different possible CODECs that are used by different
applications).
Doing a search for guides using keywords like these (together)
brasero audio cd from mp3 fedora
may help in your quest, if you can't figure it out yourself. Or
perhaps, just a DNF search with mp3 keyword.
I haven't bothered with trying to burn audio CDs on current Fedora, nor
on older Fedora's for a couple of years, so I can't supply a prepared
solution for this. But, on CentOS, I have these plug-ins installed
(more than you'll need):
