If after you have installed media player amarok, and the player cannot play mp3 files, you have to install one more library: libxine-extracodecs
Run
-> sudo apt-get install libxine-extracodecs
or
use synaptic package manager to install the library

Package libxine-extracodecs is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
libxine1-ffmpeg
E: Package libxine-extracodecs has no installation candidate
Playing mp3, wma and flac with Amarok works perfectly with the right backend and codecs.
Just replace "libxine-extracodecs" with "libxine1-ffmpeg"
so you should type
sudo apt-get install libxine1-ffmpeg
Yes I too found out that installing libxine-mmpeg was the way.
