    Welcome to the forum, Moein.S.

    We like to help when we can, but we don't help with homework assignments.
    Context is always important; labelling is rarely important.

    And I"m sorry to say you still need 10. Using "an" before "mp3" is not an exception. The rule is to use "an" before a vowel SOUND, not before a vowel. so it follows the rule exactly.

    I'm not a teacher, but I write for a living. Please don't ask me about 2nd conditionals, but I'm a safe bet for what reads well in (American) English.
