Here a few things that may help (as long as you down't have a corrupted file
........)

1) Try a different media player (Audacity, VLC etc, or Google for a free wav
to mp3 converter). Convert the mp3 to wav format then back again.

3) Use Gspot to gauge if you have the correct codecs on your machine

2) If not, download this :

3) Re-install wmp11 on top of itself (last resort).
