I was warned by the Chromium browser " this type of file may damage your computer".I think that may have been the problem,though I find that confusing as I thought Ubuntu distros were built on Debian.Am I wrong?
I haven't had this problem before as the occasional software downloads I have tried have more or less installed themselves.
Anyway I cancelled the download and have just downloaded the tar.gz for ultimate-player0.7.4.
Tried sudo apt-get install ultimate-player0.7.4
and get the message " package not found"
Downloaded file to downloads and used extract here but now I am lost as to what to do next.
Any advice on where to go from here

It isn't called Ultimate Player when you have finished copying and running all the code, it is called clementine.
If you have success installing everything (which I'm sure you will) you will have to run the file clementine from the folder that is created from the source file. For me this was found in the folder /home/your_username/Downloads/ultimate-player-0.7.4/bin and then you should see a file called clementine.
Double click the file (you may have to do this twice for the first time in a session - don't know why, it opens with one double click after that). It should now open to present you with a familiar RythmBox come Banshee looking interface.
I have just tried it out with my Samsung Galaxy S and it syncs with it no problem and plays music from it easy. It doesn't play video files though (at least not on mine) but, you can get the sound from the .mp4 file.
Hope this helps.
