Messenger voice clips

Question

Hello, 
I am new here and I don't know much about technology, so please be patient with me ?

My question is, how do I listen to a voice clip from messenger, to my mobile phone, when it is send in an mp3 form.

It asks me to download it, but when I do, it tells me that the attached file cannot be opened.
It would be very helpful, if someone can answer me.
Thank you very much.

Do you have a stock or 3rd-party music player app installed on your phone? In general, mp3 files can be played with a common music player app.

Thank you for your reply.  
Yes, I have.
I can download and listen to music.   
But still can't listen to those mp3 voice clips.

James Watson · Answer

Then, can you play any other mp3 files with your music player app? 
If yes, those mp3 voice clips must have been corrupted for some reason.

Maria · Answer

I've used it only for listening to music...
I've downloaded once music from my email and it worked just fine... 
The same mp3 file plays on my pc...
