specific MP3 file won't play

[llfw]

i've just installed musikcube 3.0.2 on FreeBSD 15, and so far everything is working fine with my library (a mix of FLAC and MP3), except one album, which musikcube won't play. trying to play it does nothing at all, and there's nothing on stderr/stdout.

the file plays fine in both mpv and ffplay. ffprobe says this:

Input #0, mp3, from '/data/public/Music/Show of Hands/1995 - Backlog 1987-1991/03 - Solo.mp3':
