importing mp3 fille error which can play on windows media player

[steve]

I am trying to edit some MP3 files which I have on a usb drive. The files that were originally ripped from a CD load just fine, but those converted from tape do not load. Audacity 2.4.2 doesn’t recognize the file type.

Could you make one of those MP3s available for us to test (preferably a small file)?

I posted a possible workaround here: MP3 Decoding failed: Lost sychronization - #10 by steve but I don’t have any suitable MP3s to test, so it is just an educated guess (all my MP3s are imported correctly).
