This is a very strange error because I've never had this problem before until now. I have
no idea what I did wrong but it's getting very irritating and I don't want to reformat my computer
again. Help would be very appreciated.

The MP3 must have a bit rate of 192 kbps or lesser! Don't let an RM2K3 play 320kbps mp3s!

The bit rate in this case is 80kbps! And the error is still bugging me!

hmm.. the game is compiled whit molebox or some encryption program? this mp3 error normally appears in some Rm2k/3 games whit mp3 compiled in one exe archive

No, the game is actually in a folder like every other rpg games.

Load the mp3 into Audacity, then save it as an mp3 (if you can) or as a wav file (if you can't) then try it again

The trouble with that is that I won't be able to play other games with mp3 files in them.
This is so weird and irritating because it never happened before.

I assumed that you were making your own game when you encountered this problem.

But now it sounds like you were playing someone else's game...?

Well either way, loading the mp3 file into Audacity would reveal whether it really is an mp3 file and not something else, like an ogg file renamed to mp3.

Also, if it is an mp3, but there's something wrong with it, like it's corrupted, then Audacity will reveal that too.

Finally, Audacity might be able to save it to an mp3 file that is usable, and if it can't then you save it as a wav and put the wav in the Music folder.

And doing any of this will not affect your ability to play other games with mp3's. (I don't know where you even got that idea)
