Can not play music with 16.04

Question

I am trying to get away from MS Windows. I am new to Ubuntu and really like it a lot. I am having a problem with version 16.04; When I attempt to play a song, the system opens the video player and then says it needs to load plugins. I have tried to associate my songs with Rhythm-box but I can not get them to play. Would anyone know how to resolve this issue? I need some hand holding here. Thanks!

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats and if that does not work, what file are you trying to play ? mp3 ? wav ? — Panther, May 01 '16 at 16:33

Open the Dash and launch a Terminal and enter:

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras && sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-good

Enter your password to complete the installation.
