Hi. You wrote here just a filename.
We have no way to access your own computer and read that file.
To actually show us the file, you have to upload the file on a website made for the purpose of sharing files, namely a "file hosting website".
Then you will post here the given URL / link from which we will then be able to download the file and do any kind of operation with it.

Examples of free file hosting websites which do not require registration:
http://www.tinyupload.com/
http://www.filedropper.com/

This file is not an MP3, it has an MP4 header but no stream available.
This file looks broken to me.

Very likely a mistake by someone or an error by some software.
