Ubuntu’s “Music Player” is Rhythmbox and does not come with mp3 support by default. I noticed this when I tried to load all my mp3s into it 🙂
Rectifying this situation is very simple:
sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.8-plugins
Problem solved – thank you Google

Thanks,
Awesome!!
Ok, got it…thanks.
Thanks for this really useful information 🙂
I tried this method but received the following message:

I have just installed ubuntu 5.10 and performed an upgrade. Can someone help?
Thanks.

Sorry to be a pain, i’m a newbie.
What do you have in your sources.list in /etc/apt ?
The gstreamer plugins package is part of “universe” which by default is not enabled.
Hi!
To be sure, enter all the following commands in root (the commands are between the “[]”) …
[su]
(enter the root’s password)
[echo -e “deb http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy universe\ndeb http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy multiverse\ndeb-src http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy universe\ndeb-src http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy multiverse\ndeb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy-security universe\ndeb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy-security multiverse\ndeb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy-security universe\ndeb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy-security multiverse” > /etc/apt/sources.list]
This is a little bit long but it will automatically add the sources you need in your file /etc/apt/sources.list.
Next, you’ll have to update “apt” by doing
[apt-get update]
Then you will be able to give this command :
[sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.8-plugins]
without problem (normally ;-))
There are also others players if you want : VLC (http://www.videolan.org/vlc/) and MOC [Music On Console] (http://moc.daper.net/about)
Hope this helps (and sorry for my bad english) 🙂
Enjoy !
ssssseb
Handy 🙂
One thing though.. You would normally use the nearest server to you, so you’ve set that to use a Canadian one (ca), whereas I would use Ireland (ie)
ssssseb
I entered the commands in [] (copy/paste) and after [apt-get update] it says
“E: Line 1 too long in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.”
If you know what’s wrong could you tell me? Thanks.
Simply, turn on “universe” repository in etc/apt/sources.list and type ‘apt-get update’ and then ‘apt-get install gstreamer0.8-plugins’, thats all.
TNX!!! that solved the problem of an MP3 player in Ubuntu. Biginning to like the distro more and more
Ubuntu is such a user friendly disro, it shocked me when they neglected to have mp3 support enabled by default. It’s just silly.
Dave – quite a few distros don’t support mp3 by default. I think there was concern about copyright.
ssssseb,
when i type [su]
then input the password, i got this mssg:
su:Authentication failure
What to do?
Hi morning,
This is probably because you never change the root password before (which doesn’t exist on Ubuntu).
To be able to use the root account (the user that can do everything on the machine), enter the following command
[sudo passwd root]
and change it there.
Once your root password is set, you can type
[su]
with a valid password.
Now that you’re root ([su] + the new password), print your sources.list in a terminal with
[cat /etc/apt/sources.list]
or open it (always in root in the terminal) with your favorite text editor like gEDIT :
[gedit /etc/apt/sources.list]
(I’ll suppose that you’ve chose the second one)
In that file, just add at the end ‘multiverse’ and ‘universe’ :
…
deb http://ie.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy universe
deb http://ie.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy multiverse
deb-src http://ie.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy universe
deb-src http://ie.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy multiverse
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy-security universe
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy-security multiverse
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy-security universe
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy-security multiverse
…
or manually :
echo -e “deb …” >> /etc/apt/sources.list
‘>’ will remove all the text before adding new lines
‘>>’ will add new lines at end of the file
Sorry for my previous post about it 😉
Like blacknight said, you should also change your mirror to use the nearest one from you (I did it by replacing ‘ca’ by ‘ie’ in the example but you can switch to your own local mirror).
Another time : sorry for this poor English 😀
Good luck et see you soon !
Hi ssssseb,
when i type: apt-get update
i got this: “E: Line 1 too long in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.”
Like Keegan has.
and solution from Poder: “Simply, turn on “universe” repository in etc/apt/sources.list and type ‘apt-get update’ and then ‘apt-get install gstreamer0.8-plugins’, thats all”
How to turn on “universe” repository in etc/apt/sources.
Sorry guy, i’m a newbie
Thanks for helping.
No problem morning 😉
To “turn on” a source like universe means that you have a line which looks like this (I hope it was the meaning) :
#deb http://ie.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy universe
To “turn on” and make this line active, you have to remove the “#” at the beginning of the line. Simply :
deb http://ie.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy universe
To be sure, you can paste your /etc/apt/sources.list here and I will (try to) see where the problem might be.
I have to go school now but I’ll read my mails tonight 🙂
Good luck and have a nice day !

(re) Hi morning,
The best solution is to use the nearest mirrors. Now I can’t access to ca.archive.ubuntu.com but ie.archive.ubuntu.com is still working (hope this is just a little server problem).
In your case, you should try id.archive.ubunutu.com which is for Indonesia (I think lol).
To change your sources, do :
[su] + Password
[mv /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list_old]
Open your favorite editor with root by typing his name (example) :
[gedit /etc/apt/sources.list]
Remove all the lines and paste this text (betweens the ‘====’…) :

Did you replace your ‘sources.list’ by the one that I pasted in my last message ? You should really use ‘id’ mirrors instead of ‘ca’. Be sure that you have the same lines that I suggested and copy/paste your /etc/apt/sources.list… It has to work, I only used the main Ubuntu’s sources.
-> t.z0n3
>> I am having the same problem as at first.

Well… You don’t have ‘multiverse’ and ‘universe’ sources. Read the seventh and the sixteenth comment where you’ll have to replace ‘ie’ by ‘us’ in your sources.
Good luck,

Try changing to a *working* mirror. The .ie one is definitely working as I use it on this server and on my desktop.
Thanks, i was looking for the codecs my self..
For all the newbies (of which I count myself one), you might find it easier to add the multiverse repository and install the gstreamer plugins using the Synaptic package manager. Here’s how I did it.
First, enable access to the multiverse repository. Quoting from the Synaptic help file:
1.) Start Synaptic by selecting System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager from the desktop menu system.
2.) In Synaptic choose Settings > Repositories.
3.) Click the Settings button.
4.) Tick Show disabled software sources, then click Close.
5.) On the Repositories dialog box click Add. There are three separate repositories; Breezy Badger, Security Updates and Updates. Select each repository and check Officially supported, Restricted copyright, Community maintained (Universe) and Non-free (Multiverse). Ensure you click OK between each repository to save your changes.
6.) You should now see checkboxes next to each repository, scroll through the list and ensure they are all checked.
Now, just go search for gstreamer0.8-plugins in the package list, check the box, and click update.
My big surprise for the evening: this actually worked using the live cd. (Of course, I’ll have to go through it all again the next time I reboot, but still, pretty amazing.)
g’day
i am having issues similar to these but i also cannot get firefox to connect to any webpages… my modem dials and connects but firefox does not seem to know that i’ve been connected… anyone know what is up?
no idea what i’m doing
It’s amazing rhythmbox doesn’t depend on the plugin package, or at least doens’t strongly suggest it: 99,9% of the users will want it along … why not making it a problem (to uninstall) only to the 0.1%, and not having the other 99,9% of the people searching for the solution in internet ?
(I’m sure many newbies won’t have ogg/mp3 tag support because they’ll never be tech savvy enough to search for the correct keywords, so for them Rhythmbox instead of a great piece of software is just a junk player)
— of course all this depends on the dist one is using.
i did what tweek said about the package manager thing but it says gstreamer-0.8-plugins cant be installeds and it has all these other required packeages…
Bryce: yes, Synaptic will tell you there are other packages that need to be installed, but that’s normal. You should just be able to go ahead and hit “update” and everything will be installed. Were you getting a specific error message?
Jan – A lot of linux distros do not ship with mp3 support “out of the box”. In some cases you can simply replace the package, such as on some of the older versions of Red Hat I used to use, but in the case of debian based distributions, such as Ubuntu you need to load the extra package.
Great Guy, Thank you
Hey thanks much found this in google the package manager repository reply worked for me. Had to delte the added “first line is too long” one though after trying the counsel help.
1. Ubuntu doesn’t come with MP3 support by default, it’s because it’s a properiarity format. It’s a question about ideology…
2. sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.lst
uncomment the “universe” line.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.8-mad
That installs support for MP3, without overbloating by installing EVERY SINGLE plugin there is for gstreamer.
3. Be sure you know what you do when you install stuff from universe/multiverse, since the quality of some of the packages is… well, not good.
The problem lies here, ubuntu supports IPV6 but ur adsl routers are not.
1) Disable IPV6 at system level
To do this edit /etc/modprobe.d/aliases by typing
sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/aliases
in the shell.
and change the line
alias net-pf-10 ipv6
to
alias net-pf-10 off
now coming to the browser, in firefoxs add bar type
about:config
and double click on the entry
network.dns.disableIPv6
:- that disables ipv6 on the browser
finally u need to setup the dns servers to the one that ur Isp provides,
go to system > admin > networking > dns >
and add the IPV4 add of ur Isp’s dns servers
reboot and things will start working smooth..
HTH
JVictor: I’m pretty sure support for playing mp3s has nothing to do with IPv6. Furthermore, there’s no reason to disable it. See this post:
http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=478267&postcount=8
IPv6 has nothing to do with mp3 support at all. They are totally unrelated.
Thanks a lot to everyone. I’m also a newbie from Estonia. I’ve had it with my xp and replaced it with ubuntu recently. Seems quite difficult at the beginning, but reading these comments around here is helping me just fine. Already got my mp3-support:) Anyway, thanks a lot one more time:)
Thanks, this helped me a wild lot… I’ve just switched from Kubuntu 6.06 to Ubuntu 6.10 and moving from KDE to Gnome is giving me some hard time. Thanks again 😉
thanks
if you’re using 6.10:
https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/codecs.html
Install the following packages from the “Universe” and “Multiverse” repositories (see Chapter 3, Adding, Removing and Updating Applications):
gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly
gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse
gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad
gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse
gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg
I installed all the gstream0.8 plugins including multiverse. But still when I try importing mp3 files to the rhythmbox player, it throws error saying gstream plugins for mp3 not installed.
Please help…
Maverick
Which version of Ubuntu are you using?
Michele
Great!!!… thx!
Hi Michele,
I am using Ubuntu6.10 for i386 desktop. Downloaded it from the ubuntu.com the latest version.
thanks
Maverick
Thanks for the info.
FYI, if you prefer to do this the GUI way, the Synaptic Package Manager can install the package for you. Get the program started at System | Administration | Synaptic Package Manager, search for ‘gstreamer0.8-plugins’ and the package should be located for you. Mark for installation and hit Apply. All dependencies should also be found and installed. It worked great for me on [Ubunty 6.10 Edgy Eft].

It’s been mentioned but just to reiterate, VLC is a great little player. video and audio. It doesn’t look much but don’t that fool you.
Simon
VLC is a very nice player. The Mac version can be easily reskinned to look more attractive. Do you know if that’s possible with any of the linux ones?
