How to find the plugins for playing mp3 songs in ubuntu or in any linux distribution?

Posted on February 6th, 2010 by admin

Hello,
I have just started using Ubuntu operating system.
I’m unable to play the songs and videos(mp3,.avi files) which are there in my system,it is showing error code and saying to download plugins for playing the file. Is there a way where i can solve the problem with out using any internet connection ie. download and use type

Mp3 plugin installed for Rhythmbox music player, do:
sudo aptitude install gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3

For video,
1) Install vlc – sudo apt-get install vlc
2) Start default Movie Player (Totem), try playing any video file and then it asks for necessary codec, download it and things become normal again!!
