Play mp3 and dvd under Ubuntu install skype googleearth acroread and
other stuffs using Medibuntu

First please install https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats

You need to have extra repositories enabled..

Please first enable the universe and multiverse repository:

Open System → Administration → Software sources → [ Tab Ubuntu software
]

enable "Community-maintained Open Source software ( universe )" 
enable "Proprietary drivers for devices ( restricted )"
enable "Software restrictecd by copyright or legal issue ( multiverse )"

Close and confirm the repository reload.

Type the following command in a terminal (applications → accessories →
terminal)

sudo aptitude install vlc smplayer mplayer

To get better dvd playback and optional packages here the medibuntu available software list http://packages.medibuntu.org/
you need to add the medibuntu http://www.medibuntu.org/ repository to your /etc/apt/sources.list file:
( here the medibuntu howto https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu but see below ) 

In short please open a Terminal from the menu Applications → Accessories
→ Terminal and type or copy and paste:

sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/`lsb_release -cs`.list
--output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list; sudo apt-get
-q update; sudo apt-get --yes -q --allow-unauthenticated install
medibuntu-keyring; sudo apt-get -q update

-- give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when
you type it, then press enter

Now to install, type:

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras libxine1-ffmpeg libdvdread4 libdvdnav4 libdvdcss2 regionset gnome-mplayer
sudo aptitude install non-free-codecs w32codecs gstreamer0.10-pitfdll gstreamer0.10-plugins-good
sudo aptitude install gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse

give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you
