sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/hardy.list
-O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list

#THIS IS ONE LINE
wget -q http://packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg -O- | sudo
apt-key add - && sudo apt-get update

#NOW INSTALL THESE
sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2 w32codecs
sudo apt-get install vlc vlc-plugin-esd mozilla-plugin-vlc
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install non-free-codecs
sudo apt-get install libswfdec-0.5-4 libswfdec-0.6-90


Everything should work now.  I don't listen to music much on my
