title: ValueError: embedded null character when reading in mp3 with Librosa
body: <p>I'm trying to read an mp3 file in a Jupyter Notebook with Python 3.6 using librosa.load. </p>
  
  <p>I'm not too sure what to try, I haven't seen much on line with this particular problem. The following is the code that I am using and the error message I keep receiving.</p>
