    How big is the MP3? The limit on the attachment isn't 20Mb, it's the limit on the entire email message. So if you have embedded pics or HTML in the email then that also can take up size. 

    Also, is it just MP3? Can you send a picture of the same size?

    When sending files, it's usually good to compress it first (although MP3 is compressed so that doesn't help there) or use a service like those listed here: http://www.techradar.com/how-to/internet/10-ways-to-share-big-files-1310947
