Make a location{} that handles mp3-file requests, and "return 301"
(or otherwise redirect) there.

You have something like

  location [normal reverse proxy request] {
    proxy_pass [somewhere]
  }

Add

  location [mp3 request] {
    return 301 [somewhere else]
  }

Fill in the bits in [square brackets] appropriately.

Depending on the full set of requirements, "~ mp3" or "~ mp3$" might be
a useful value for [mp3 request].

Good luck with it,
