Help Phone won't play certain MP3 files since update

Hey all,
ever since the last update a few days ago my phone won't play some of my mp3 files claiming that this mp3 player doesn't support this type of format. But, before the update I could play them perfectly fine. I'm using the default music player (the one with the blue play button and the green note) and I've tried others and they don't work either. Anybody have any ideas?
 
I have seen that too. With .mp4 video files as well. I ran the files through an audio/video converter and they played again. The same settings were used to reformat them as they were when they were created.

I have no idea why.
 
try going to wherever your mp3 and see if when you select mp3 if mx player is an option and if so click to make it the default player
 
im not sure what mp3 players you tried but i know vlc beta app finally made it to play store, the pc version plays every format so would assume the version does as well
