1) Try to open terminal and run following command to install mp3 library:

$ sudo apt-get install libmp3lame0

2) I don't think so. On the contrast, I think network speed is higher than Windows because of more efficient network applications. If you feel software update slow, you can change repository source by detecting the fastest source automatically.

  • @Khairul - this is related to your second problem, on the internet, which seems more serious. create a separate question on that and try to give more details
