Hi @mehrdad78, thanks for reporting (and thanks @LysandreJik for drawing my attention to this).

I have manually checked the TAR file, its content and specifically the MP3 file raising the error: cv-corpus-6.1-2020-12-11/ru/clips/common_voice_ru_18849051.mp3

I can load it without any problem (our Datasets library, under the hood uses torchaudio for mp3 files):

In [1]: import torchaudio

In [2]: path = "./data/common_voice/ru/cv-corpus-6.1-2020-12-11/ru/clips/common_voice_ru_18849051.mp3"

In [3]: data = torchaudio.load(path, format="mp3")

In [4]: data
Out[4]: 
(tensor([[ 0.0000e+00,  0.0000e+00,  0.0000e+00,  ..., -2.6095e-04,
           3.2425e-05,  8.8751e-05]]),
 48000)

This makes me think that maybe the source of your issue is sox. This is a non-Python dependency that must be installed manually using your operating system package manager, e.g.

sudo apt-get install sox

You have the installation instruction of Datasets with support for Audio in our docs: Installation > Audio

Have you ever encountered this error @albertvillanova @mariosasko ?
