I'm not sure what you want us to do.

Being a U.S.-based company, Canonical doesn't ship Ubuntu with code that
possibly infringes upon patents. You have to install those packages
manually yourself.

This means if you want MP3 support, it's up to you to get it. (If your
files were in Ogg Vorbis or FLAC, it wouldn't have worked for you right
away.)

This is a distribution policy and completely out of our control. If you
don't like their policies, you can try switching distros.
