    Hi Radioactive_ape,

    Welcome to the LinuxForums.

    which version of Ubuntu do you have? codecs/pluing installation is easy in Feisty Fawn, latest version of Ubuntu.
    check these links for installing plugins/codecs for restricted formats.
    Link 1, Link 2

    I haven't tried it out yet, but I heard Amarok is really good (possibly the best). You need to download KDE first, though (you can still run it in GNOME).

    You don't need full blown KDE to run it, just some libs that will be pulled automatically from Ubuntu's repos

    Thanks for telling me that. Does that go for Krita and K3B as well?
