Express Scribe seems to have trouble with some file formats and this also seems to vary depending of the version of Express Scribe you are using.
Since Express Scribe is provided as a free application I wouldn’t count on a great deal of support from the NCH team in this particular instance. Also, if the version you are using does not, or can not load and play the file you want they won’t be able to do anything quickly for you.
Suggestions:
1) Try playing the .mp3 file in Windows Media player just to make sure the file is not damaged
2) Try an older version of Express Scribe (if you can find it) to see if it will recognize and play the file:
Try this one: http://www.download3000.com/download_35511.html
3) Try another transcription application even if for this file only, you may be able find free trials via the internet
Best of luck!
