how to solve it?

Answer 1

I had this problem with gmusicbrowser running in a Crouton installed Ubuntu/Xenial on a chromebook.

I solved it by installing gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly, gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad, gstreamer1.0-plugins-good and gstreamer1.0-pulseaudio from apt.

i also installed the ubuntu-restricted-extras apt package for the flac decoders.

gmusicbrowser could then play mp3 and flac.

Answer 2

sudo apt install gstreamer1.0-plugins-good

https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/gst-plugins-good/html/gst-plugins-good-plugins-id3demux.html

So it has to be a part of gst-plugins-good.
