                            break;
                        case "NineToLeven":
                            reader.Read();
                            listBox1.Items.Add(reader.Value);
                            break;
                    }
                }
            }
            reader.Close();

It will be easy to use the XMlDocument and Xpath instead of XMlTextReader.Try the following code

string childNodeName = comboBox1.Text;//Monday,Tuesday....
          string XmlFile = @"D:\MediaPlayer.xml";
          if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(childNodeName))
          {
              return;
          }
          XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
          if (File.Exists(XmlFile))
          {
              xmlDoc.Load(XmlFile);
              XmlNodeList listRoot = xmlDoc.DocumentElement.SelectNodes("/MediaPlayer/Body/Days/" + childNodeName); //Xpath

              foreach (XmlNode nodesDay in listRoot)
              {
                  if (childNodeName == nodesDay.Name)
                  {
                      XmlNodeList listrootDay = nodesDay.ChildNodes;
                      textBox1.Text = nodesDay.Name;
                      foreach (XmlNode nodeChild in listrootDay)
                      {
                          listBox1.Items.Add(nodeChild.Name + "-" + nodeChild.InnerText);
                      }
                  }
              }
          }
