I installed Ubuntu very first time over Window 7, but when I played a MP3 song it shows a "Python (v2.7) requires to install plug in to play media files" message. What to do? Help me! I have searched over the internet but found nothing there...

+1 for mentioning you need to update the system before you install, since this seems to be a fresh installation. – jobin Feb 16 '14 at 17:05
