do you know the exact path to the mp3 file?

If you would use the debugger, you would see what wrong with your path.

It is fairly easy to see that it won't work as it will result in something like "MusicFilec:\CurrentDirectory". Notice that "MusicFile" is at the beginning. Also current directory might not be what you expect it to be (depending if it was set or not).

Don't put data file in executable folder. It is a bad pratice.

A file like a MP3 should be under user folder (and preferably in "My music".

By the way, your Path is wrong for sure...

1) "MusicFile" would never be at the beginning (before the current directory)
2) You should normally not use CurrentDirectory as it might be anything depending on how the application was started (from debugger, stanalone, from a shortcut...)
3) As mentionned above, you should use a folder specific to the current user.
4) You should use GetFolderPath[^] to get the desired parent folder.
5) You should then use Path.Combine[^] to build the complete filename.
