Mp3 resource encoded as text in Intellij IDEA

Question

everyone.

• I have mp3 file in Intellij IDEA project under resources dir - ' src\main\resources\com\company\app\sound\type.mp3 '

• When I rebuild project, the file appears in target - 'classes\com\company\app\sound\type.mp3'

• But it has different size and wrong binary data.

I've found out that IDEA is to blame.

• it copies mp3 resource as text
• and unexpectedly encodes it from ASCII (why??) to UTF-8 (default charset in project)
• Maven build does the same.

I've tried

• setting encoding for the mp3 file ASCII (though it's nonsence) - gives target file of correct size, but not playable
• adding *.mp3 to Compiler -> Resource patterns - no effect

I'm looking for

• an IDEA setting that will recognize mp3 file as binary, not text.
• or a better way to store binarry resources (though my images are ok)

Any help?
