Pyhon (v2.7) requires to install plugins

Question

I installed Ubuntu very first time over Window 7, but when I played a MP3 song it shows a "Python (v2.7) requires to install plug in to play media files" message. What to do? Help me! I have searched over the internet but found nothing there...

Press Ctrl + ALt + T to open a terminal.
Write the following in terminal followed by Enter

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
A prompt will ask for password, after entering the password type y for yes when asked. Wait for the installation process to over.
Now try to run the MP3.
