I am not a power user. What are some potential file sharing hosts?

One of them is

Upload your file "Hummingbird.m4a" and copy & paste the URL link to this file in your next answer.  
Then we can download this file and analyze it.  
The file itself will be deleted automatically in about 7 days.

I just loaded your Hummingbird track into MusicBrainz Picard and I get this:

 ![image](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/3X/7/2/72069e2f273c4a9b5db15c7dddf31d065ad7b94e.png)

The output of ffprobe is:

```auto
[mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2 @ 000002557d9bac80] Format mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2 detected only with low score of 1, misdetection possible!
[mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2 @ 000002557d9bac80] moov atom not found
Hummingbird.m4a: Invalid data found when processing input

```

My VLC does not play this file.

I would say that this file is corrupt and unusable. I can not tell you a way to fix this file other then re-rip or re-download it from your source.

Foobar2000 says something similar:

```auto
`Error: Unsupported format or corrupted file (invalid or incomplete data)

That file is fishy, it contains headers for EXE files and lots of other corrupted data. It doen't seem to be contiguous so maybe from a corrupted drive?
