There is a variable, file-coding-system-alist, that also lists file
name extensions for which no-conversion is applied upon reading or
writing. Obviously no-one has edited an MP3 file before, so this is
not mentioned there.
It might be worth to write a bug report and ask for this enhancement.
To solve your problem now you can add to your init file this code:
(add-to-list 'file-coding-system-alist '("\\.mp3\\'" . no-conversion))
To have it set at once put the line into the *scratch* buffer,
position the cursor at its end and press C-j. Then open, edit, and
save the MP3 file again.
