Kubuntu does not directly support the <emphasis role="strong">MP3</emphasis> format, because it is restricted by patents and proprietary rights. Instead Kubuntu supports the <emphasis role="strong">Ogg Vorbis</emphasis> format out of the box, a completely free, open and non-patented format. Ogg Vorbis files also sound better then MP3 files of the same file size and are supported by many popular music players (a list of players is <ulink url="http://wiki.xiph.org/index.php/PortablePlayers">here</ulink>).

You can still play your old MP3 files by installing MP3 support (see <xref linkend="codecs"/>). Instructions for other formats, such as Windows Media Audio (wma/wmv) and other patent encumbered formats can be located in the Ubuntu community documentation at <ulink url="http://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats"/>.
