Now am a classic newbie with Ubuntu and I am trying to get the player to work with a bunch of file I just get. But when I load them up to the playlist I get this error message:
An error occurred
The playback of this movie requires a MPEG-1 Layer 3 (MP3) decoder plug-in which is not installed.
Ok
Â
Where can I get Ubuntu compatible plugins or code cs?
Thanks.
For player mp3 file in Ubuntu, you need to download virtual package MPG123 which is a portable and fast MPEG player for Unix. Â It supports MPEG layer 1 and 2 which is used for playing those famous mp3 files.
