It's certainly not. The funny thing is that nobody tried to
view this file with 'hd' or editor:

`biew /root/broken.mp3':

Also note:

bash-2.05a# ls -alFG /root/broken.mp3
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  6767306 Apr 13 00:14 /root/broken.mp3
bash-2.05a# gzip -9 /root/broken.mp3
bash-2.05a# ls -alFG /root/broken.mp3.gz
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  3394480 Apr 13 00:14 /root/broken.mp3.gz

That's 50.15998980982979046610275935505200% compression rate! :)
Not bad for a MPEG Layer 3 file with Huffman coding, is it?
