You can not apply file from resource to MediaPlayer in .Net. The music file should be placed in separatly file and Uri created with phisical file path.

Please, see the message details in MediaPlayer.MediaError event.

You have to set the 'Build Action' to 'Resource' in order to make the resource accessible through WPF.

You can change this in the properties pane of the file:

enter image description here

I got it working with these steps:

  1. Create resource file in Resources\default.mp3;
  2. Add resource file to project. Set Build Action to Resource;

  3. Use this code:

    Uri uri = new Uri("pack://application:,,,/WpfApplication1;component/Resources/default.mp3");
