You need to install the ubuntu-restricted-extras package to use mp3 (and various other audio/video formats). To do this, open a terminal (Applications-Accessories-Terminal) and give the command sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

Note that you will need an Internet connection for this.

You can use Internet in a Wubi (within windows) install. For the exact steps, we need to know how you use Internet in Windows.

Most likely the Internet will already be activated and working in Ubuntu. Try to browse a site such as www.google.com using firefox.

Post back with your Internet access details for more specific advice.

In this case, You can open Add/remove Programe and install all gstreamer codecs to play mp3, wma, ..
