Can you browse internet and download from other sites? if your answer is yes, you don't have any problem downloading issue. So having PPPoE connection is fine.

Before answering your question, let me suggest you to upgrade ubuntu to 10.10 or later. Ubuntu added 'software center' which is quite easy to work with.

This is how to make your ubuntu 9.10 run audio formats.
Before doing anything, update your repository (using terminal):

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

or you can just use ubuntu update manager. I assume you know how to reach it.(If not, let me know.)

When upgrade is done, you have to install these gsteamer plugins as I listed. Either you can use package manager to find them.(again I assume you know how to open the package manager - if not let me know.)

GStreamer ffmpeg video plugin
GStreamer extra plugins
GStreamer plugins for mms, wavpack, quicktime, musepack
GStreamer plugins for aac, xvid, mpeg2, faad

These packages are restricted format for ubuntu and you can install them using terminal by command:

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

When the installation is over, run a mp3 or some audio file and check if it works or not. Let me know the result, or if you came up with some other solution please share with us too.

I found Moovida player a better choice for Ubuntu. The resolution is much better than VLC, too. Try it once.
