It's usual to find many distributions without MP3 support due to licensing issues. If you have MP3 files and don't know how to play them do the following:
- Open the terminal
- Type sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
- Remove comments to packages (This is erasing the # characters in lines starting with ##deb)
- Save changes and close gedit
- Update the packages sudo apt-get update
- Install the mulitmedia codecs:
sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.8-plugins sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.8-lame sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.8-ffmpeg sudo apt-get install w32codecs sudo apt-get install libdivx4linux sudo apt-get install lame sudo apt-get install sox sudo apt-get install ffmpeg sudo apt-get install mjpegtools sudo apt-get install vorbis-tools gst-register-0.8
Now you can open a player like Rythmbox or Kaffeine and start listening songs. Totem won't play mp3 with this. To associate mp3 files with a player, right-clic on a mp3 file and go to "Open with" tab.
