Installing on Ubuntu help please.

[Richard Beer]

At the moment I am using ubuntu and I am wired into the net via router and Ethernet cable. The problem is, i want to install temaspeak and various other applications, how do i install things on linux? when I opened the teamspeak file i was faced with a load of text which totally confuses me :s. Also my OS wont play videos or songs (mp3 files) how can i solve this? Any help is welcome, thanks.
