Here is a recommended solution to playing a mp3:

Link: Simple mediaplayer play mp3 from file path?

String filePath = 
Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()+"/yourfolderNAme/yopurfile.mp3";
mediaPlayer = new  MediaPlayer();
mediaPlayer.setDataSource(filePath);
mediaPlayer.prepare();   
mediaPlayer.start()

and this play from raw folder.

 int resID=myContext.getResources().getIdentifier(playSoundName,"raw",myContext.getPackageName());

        MediaPlayer mediaPlayer = MediaPlayer.create(myContext,resID);
        mediaPlayer.prepare();
        mediaPlayer.start();
