Playing MP3 Files
Since MP3 is one of the most widely-used audio formats, you probably will come across a few MP3 files in your computer usage - if you don't already have a large collection of them. You have two options for dealing with your MP3's under Ubuntu:
Install some extra, restricted plugins
[:RestrictedFormats/ConvertingToOpen: Converting to open] unrestricted formats, like Ogg-Vorbis
With Restricted Plug-ins
Below are instructions for installing plug-ins necessary for playing MP3s, depending on the version of Ubuntu that you are using.
Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Dapper Drake)
Amarok folks pay attention to this: if you use libxine-extracodecs together with gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly installed, the sound of playing mp3 will become weird. Simply remove gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly.
Install the package gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly.
To add mp3 support to GnomeBaker, install gstreamer0.8-mad and gstreamer0.8-misc.
Audio Previewing (This applies to all Ubuntu releases.): The Ubuntu File Manager Nautilus can preview music files if you hover your mouse pointer over the file. If you would like to add this functionality to your desktop, install the mpg321 and vorbis-tools. Note: If you experience jittery playback of MP3 audio previews, try installing mpg123-esd instead of mpg321. The mpg123-esd package is located in the Multiverse repository.
An alternative method to gain mp3 decoding support in gstreamer applications is to install gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3. This is in the [http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components#head-83c417468ac62506377459c6915798cdb7a24ae2 Universe repository], which contains software that is "more free" than that found in [http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components#head-a8c59ac886cf3ffe515add70d281a92a32b93a62 Multiverse]. More details on this plug-in can be found [http://www.fluendo.com/resources/fluendo_mp3.php here].

Audio Previewing -- The Kubuntu file manager Konqueror can preview sound files if you hover your mouse pointer over the file (this can be enabled in Konqueror's menu under View->Preview->Sound files). If you would like to add this functionality for use with mp3 files, install libarts1-mpeglib.
