Ubuntu – Rhythmbox Not Playing/Importing MP3 Files After Installing ubuntu-restricted-extras

gnomemp3musicrhythmbox

Running Ubuntu GNOME and just upgraded to 15.04. I'm having trouble importing .mp3 files into Rhythmbox. Whenever I try and select my ~/Music/ folder that has the .mp3 files, I can just see the files but grayed out. I've tried dragging one of the files into the music playing area, but it just tells me that 

Problem occurred without error being set. This is a bug in Rhythmbox
or GStreamer.

I've installed the ubuntu-restricted-extras package the gstreamers packages as well.

I'm happy to post the contents of my Rhythmbox plugins folder if that will help.

Thanks.

Update

I no longer run Ubuntu GNOME and have no way of verifying what the correct answer to my question is. It appears that there's been some good answers given in the answer section. So, I'm going to mark the one that looks most correct to me. Mods: please let me know if there's a better thing to do here.
