The easiest way is to install the package ubuntu-restricted-extras by clicking the button below: This will install a bunch of useful stuff, because it is a meta-package, like flash, MP3 capability, mscorefonts etc. Connect to the internet. Open the software center and search for ubuntu-restricted-extras and install it. You will have to accept some licences for non-free stuff. |

First step read this from Ubuntu RestrictedFormats. Then go to ubuntuguide. This is for Maverick - there are different guides for older versions of Ubuntu. To install Flash search for 'Flash' in the Software Centre and install it or install the package: flashplugin-nonfree |

For Flash Player, try installing For the MP3 stuff, support to listen to MP3 media files should already be loaded into the system, as was my experience with 10.04 and 10.10. |

On every new install of Ubuntu I always use Medibuntu in addition to the restricted extras. |
