How Do I Find a Virus/Malware Embedded in an Mp3?

I'm a basic user running Ubuntu 14.04.3 32 bit. I know I have a virus embedded in 1 mp3 I copied from my friend 2 years ago. It's no problem for this system, but it has killed 2 mp3 players & a tablet. The Android scanner couldn't find it. The only virus scanner I can find for Ubuntu is for e-mail. I have 5.4 gigs of mp3's. How do I locate the malware embedded in the mp3?
