If you want to better control what is on your computer, add the packages 
yourself!
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultimediaApplications
Between those two links, you can probably do most things that Automatix 
would do for you.  In most cases, if there is something that you want, 
then there are instructions somewhere on how to get it.

If you just want things put on your computer without having to take time 
to learn how to do  it yourself, automatix will speed things up.  You 
might want to go through some of the other conversations on the subject.
Just put this in google:  automatix site:lists.ubuntu.com
