Best Answer
To play mp3 files with Rhythmbox you need the gstreamer 'ugly' plugins. There are 3 good choices to getting these installed and running with Rhythmbox;
1. This should be shown when you try to open such a file:
Simply install from here and Rhythmbox will happily play your mp3s.
2. If the menu does not appear you can install install from the commandline (on Trusty Tahr):
And hopefully this will be enough to get your mp3s playing.
3. If not the final choice is to get the latest and greatest Rhythmbox with the annoying 'can't see mp3s/plugins properly' bug ironed out:
And then all should be well...
