I can get your code to work when I replace the Scribie URL with "http://demo.twilio.com/docs/classic.mp3". When I try to open up the Scribie URL you have, it takes me to this webpage one has to log-in to view. Instead of that, I'd try uploading the file to Twilio Assets or a different hosting service.
