Odds are these aren’t properly formatted. See here for similar issues.

> What's the source of the files (I'm guessing a random website that converts from Youtube) and have you [checked the original files for errors](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/how-to-check-files-for-errors/44633) (preferably with MP3 Diags). Most of the YouTube converters are now providing files that are actually MP4 dash disguised as MP3. Due to the nature of those sites, it’s impossible to contact them and make them aware of the problems they are causing.
