To query all MP3 files under drive E: The commands DIR /S/B E:\.MP3 and DIR E:\.MP3 /S/B both work, but DIR E:\*.MP3 does not. Why is it necessary to have parameters?

/s means including subfolders. Your mp3 files are placed in a folder. If you place them in the current directory, you don't need parameters.

The parameter /S has the meaning of searching. If this parameter is not present, all MP3 files in drive E: cannot be found, only the MP3 files in the root directory of drive E: can be found.
