my_mp3.mp3: could not find codec parameters

what could be the problem?

problem was solved with adding -f mp3

Sounds that there are some files, which are not actually MP3 files, but just have the extension, and that they are not actually audio files or use a codec not understood by ffmpg.

Have you checked the files in question?
