You might want to try playing the file with an older version of WinAmp. I use
vers 2.2. WinAmp will play almost anything, regardless of the file extension,
that looks like music so maybe it can play the file. If it can, then you can
use WinAmp's WAV file writer to output the file to WAV and then re-encode it
to MP3. There is an MP3 writer but I haven't had good luck with it.
