I need help putting a file into Audition

Hello,
I have been trying to put a few audio files from my SD card onto audition, this SD card has recorded audio and has been able to import those audio files just fine but for some reason, these audio files are a no-go. the recorder I used is a Zoom H5 if that helps with anything. The error that keeps popping up is

._140101-003740.MP3 Error: Media Foundation reported an error when opening the file.

The byte stream type of the given URL is unsupported.

I have searched for this error and I found some answers like downloading the files, changing the file name, and making sure it is not in my one drive. none of these work. If anyone knows how to fix this that would be super appreciated as this is for a big project due tomorrow. if you need any additional information please let me know

thanks in advance

I have a suspicion that the file "._140101-003740.MP3" is not an MP3 file - what is the size of that file?
I would hesitate to suggest that the file you should be looking for is probably called "140101-003740.MP3" and is much larger in size
Feel free to post that file or send it to me to examine it

I had a look at the H5 instruction book, and it has a list of allowable characters for a file name, and a period "." is not in the list. Quite reasonably, as it is used to distinguish between the name and its extension. So in Zoom's example, their file names always start with a number. So I suspect that SuiteSpot is quite correct, although I don't see why it can't be an MP3 - the only difference in the Zoom naming protocol between mp3 and wav is the extension. The other possibility of course on an H5 is that these are multichannel interleaved mp3 files. Ultimately the best way of dealing with any of these files is to use the H5 as the file reader - in other words use it as an interface. Or just do as SuiteSpot has offered and send him the file. If anybody can sort it out, he can!

Hey thanks for the help, but I have to turn in the project this morning and I don’t have a large amount of time so I just made up a bunch of audio on my computer.
