[9.0a, also 8.x 32/64] TC can't play some MP3 files
TC can't play some of my MP3 files in its internal viewer (without any plugins) and opens them simply as text. For example, this one:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4XGhULwLK0nTDAwblhZVjdERDQ
TC 9.0a x32/x64, Win10.
It's a very old bug, maybe present even in 8.0 or earlier. WTF?

PS, confirmed on TC 8.50 x32 (on a Win98 VM!), so this bug is independent of OS version.

We are not so S.M.A.R.T. as we imagine...

Nevertheless it depends on the OS itself... this bug is independent of OS version
Without any plugin TC uses Windows media player from the system, it doesn't play the files by itself.

It's a known bug of the used video for windows player, it cannot handle mp3s with pictures inside.
The solution would be to switch to the more modern DirectShow interface. There are plugins which already use this interface.
