Could it be as simple as having invalid characters in the path to the song you are trying to play? Most of the invalid characters are symbols, but some are a little more common like a ", <, > and |. My money's on the ".

To view the invalid characters you can use System.IO.Path.GetInvalidPathChars(), then compare those characters to the path to the file you're trying to play.

You might also check System.IO.Path.GetInvalidFileNameChars()
