I use this code for playing single mp3 audio file and i used MediaElement:

Uri Path = new Uri("AudioFiles/music.mp3", UriKind.Relative);
SoundPlayer.Source = Path;
SoundPlayer.Play();

but i got this error :

An exception of type 'System.ArgumentException' occurred in mscorlib.ni.dll but was not handled in user code

Additional information: The given System.Uri cannot be converted into a Windows.Foundation.Uri.

what is wrong with that ?

Thanks

Depending on the location of your file, you may need a different Uri scheme. Try:

SoundPlayer.Source = new Uri(@"ms-appdata:///local/AudioFiles/music.mp3"); // if your file is in IsolatedStorage
SoundPlayer.Source = new Uri(@"ms-appx:///AudioFiles/music.mp3"); // if your file is a Build-in content

Note also that you don't need SoundPlayer.Play() if SoundPlayer.Autoplay is set to true (default setting). In case it's false - you will have to start to play manually in MediaOpened event not just after setting the Source.

Uri Path = new Uri("/AudioFiles/music.mp3", UriKind.Relative);

You are forgetting a "/" before AudioFiles.
