Comment 2 for bug 5237

I think this is also a VERY important issue to address. Think about it this way, I just installed Ubuntu and I want to see what its capable of, but first, I need a little music to make the job go by a little easier. so I fire up the media player and it won't play any of my music... this is ridiculous.
Minus 10 points for ubuntu, this alone might be enough to turn some people away from linux. If someone stick it out to try and figure it out, they should easily find the proper page on the ubuntu wiki, filled with exact step by step instruction on how to enable the restricted formats, and they're left thinking "why didn't they just tell me that in the first place?"
The ubuntu installer imho is the perfect place for this, during install it should display a legal disclaimer and then give the user the option to enable the repositories and install FUNCTIONAL media players instead of the completely useless (to most of us) apps that are included.
