Answer 1

You are using chromium. Mp3 is not supported in both chromium and firefox for ubuntu. You can convert mp3 to ogg to play them in chromium and firefox. Or you can install chrome if you don't want to convert mp3 to ogg. If you want to convert them, you can do it with this shell script
#!/bin/bash
echo "The script convert mp3->ogg or ogg->mp3.";
echo "The script takes one parameter: ";
echo "[mp3ogg] - converting mp3->ogg";
echo "[oggmp3] - converting ogg->mp3";
if [ "$1" = "" ]; then
echo "";
echo "Argument does not exist!!!";
exit 102;
fi
if [ "$1" = "mp3ogg" ]; then
for file in *.mp3; do
avconv -i "$file" "`echo '../ogg/'${file%.mp3}.ogg`";
done
exit 0;
fi
if [ "$1" = "oggmp3" ]; then
for file in *.ogg; do
avconv -i "$file" -acodec libmp3lame "`echo ${file%.ogg}.mp3`";
done
exit 0;
fi
exit 104;
But you only problem is that chromium and firefox will not support mp3, they will support only ogg in ubuntu.
