Thank you for your suggestions. After downloading the newest version
of QuickTime and restarting my computer I could use the mp3s.

Best wishes,

As mentioned below please make sure that file name specified on @Media header does match exactly the name of the MP3 file without the ".mp3" extension. There could be space characters or some other invisible characters in the file name on the hard disk.
