You probably need a complete file path like:

"C:\SomeFolder\13-system_of_a_down-ego_brain-rns.mp3"

This is all i did
[Highlight=VB]
MediaPlayer1.FileName = "C:\My Documents\My Music\New Folder\sounds\your1021001527.mp3"
[\vBcode]

i just turned on autostart and it worked

yeah, but i have to export my application, so i can't have it linked to a song on my computer, the song has to be embeded in with an OLE

ummm well your not going to be able to embed the file into your exe with VB... but if you include it with your application then just reference it using app.path.. that will point to the path on the given computer where the exe resides... so if you include your mp3 with your application and put it in the same folder as your exe.. it would look something like this..

MediaPlayer1.FileName = App.Path & "\13-system_of_a_down-ego_brain-rns.mp3"

Actually, you could embed the MP3 into your application as a resource. At run-time, you would extract the resource into a file and then just play it from there.

luravex and killerSD: To display code in your posts do this (this won't be displayed as formatted code because I'm using a trick to make it not happen, but when you do it it will show up formatted.

[vbcode]
Dim strValue As String

strValue = "Example"
