When I run ffprobe against this mp3 file [1], I see the following error: $ ffprobe -i example-with-error.mp3 ffprobe version 2.8.5 Copyright (c) 2007-2016 the FFmpeg developers built with Apple LLVM version 7.0.2 (clang-700.1.81) configuration: --prefix=/usr/local/Cellar/ffmpeg/2.8.5 --enable-shared --enable-pthreads --enable-gpl --enable-version3 --enable-hardcoded-tables --enable-avresample --cc=clang --host-cflags= --host-ldflags= --enable-opencl --enable-libx264 --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libvo-aacenc --enable-libxvid --enable-vda libavutil 54. 31.100 / 54. 31.100 libavcodec 56. 60.100 / 56. 60.100 libavformat 56. 40.101 / 56. 40.101 libavdevice 56. 4.100 / 56. 4.100 libavfilter 5. 40.101 / 5. 40.101 libavresample 2. 1. 0 / 2. 1. 0 libswscale 3. 1.101 / 3. 1.101 libswresample 1. 2.101 / 1. 2.101 libpostproc 53. 3.100 / 53. 3.100 example-with-error.mp3: Invalid data found when processing input
The file has an ID3 tag including an artwork PNG image of ~1MB. If I reduce the size of this PNG image slightly by cropping it [2], then the error no longer occurs: $ ffprobe -i example-without-error.mp3 ffprobe version 2.8.5 Copyright (c) 2007-2016 the FFmpeg developers built with Apple LLVM version 7.0.2 (clang-700.1.81) configuration: --prefix=/usr/local/Cellar/ffmpeg/2.8.5 --enable-shared --enable-pthreads --enable-gpl --enable-version3 --enable-hardcoded-tables --enable-avresample --cc=clang --host-cflags= --host-ldflags= --enable-opencl --enable-libx264 --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libvo-aacenc --enable-libxvid --enable-vda libavutil 54. 31.100 / 54. 31.100 libavcodec 56. 60.100 / 56. 60.100 libavformat 56. 40.101 / 56. 40.101 libavdevice 56. 4.100 / 56. 4.100 libavfilter 5. 40.101 / 5. 40.101 libavresample 2. 1. 0 / 2. 1. 0 libswscale 3. 1.101 / 3. 1.101 libswresample 1. 2.101 / 1. 2.101 libpostproc 53. 3.100 / 53. 3.100 [mp3 @ 0x7f9b62802a00] Skipping 0 bytes of junk at 930770.

Note: I believe this is why the first track cannot be played from within Google Chrome using an HTML5 audio element, whereas the second track can. Thanks, James.
