Probably Audacity 1.2 does not support the format the file is in. Download Audacity 1.3 Beta, then the optional FFmpeg library, as explained in this FAQ.

After instaling FFmpeg, Import the file by clicking File > Import > Audio then choose "FFmpeg-compatible files" in the "Files of type" dropdown. This will make sure the file is imported by FFmpeg.
