As mentioned in earlier correction-email, problem seem to be that emms
treats that mp3 file as a playlist, and mpv refuses to open it as such
(correctly).

After double-checking why track might have been with such
playlist/streamlist type, didn't find or bumped into any obvious issues
there, so most likely place seem to be one of the emms-add-playlist-*
functions.

As you didn't post that bit between module configuration and starting
playback, I'd suggest double-checking how exactly you add tracks to
playlist.

emms-add-playlist or emms-add-streamlist are wrong ones to use for
file/directory - emms-add-file, emms-add-directory,
emms-add-directory-tree should be more appropriate.
If that doesn't work - maybe post how do you add these tracks, so that
I might be able to reproduce the issue here to look into it.

Also maybe check/paste what would be the output of running:

  (emms-playlist-current-selected-track)

(can paste that into *Scratch* buffer and run via C-j, resulting track
info should be in *Messages*)
