Banshee won't play MP3s [SOLVED]

Hi everyone,
Banshee won't play MP3s which are playable in
VLC, Amarok and the Firefox and Chomium when opened directly.

When i attempt to play an MP3 it skips next track until it reaches the bottom of the list.

I would love to simply use Banshee since it can download the content from the Amazon Cloud.

Thanks in advance for any help

Thanks Karol, It didn't occur to me it was simply missing a few required plugins. I figured it was something more devious since mp3s were playing in other applications.

Fixed my problem instantly.
