You might find reading

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats

useful. There is a lot of information there about enabling mp3 and
other formats. Rhythmbox will play mp3 if you install the

gstreamer0.8-mad 

package, for example.

"gstreamer0.8-mad - MAD MPEG audio decoder plugin for
GStreamer" (it's in the universe repository)
