This error message may appear when you try to play an exported mp3 on Windows.

"The file could not be read. It may be corrupt or not licensed"

Certain Windows editions (Windows N and KN) do not include Windows Media player and the related codecs. You need to first install the media feature pack: Media Feature Pack (Windows 8) or Media Feature Pack (Windows 10).

You can find more specific information on: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/media-feature-pack-for-windows-n-8622b390-4ce6-43c9-9b42-549e5328e407
