Play .mp3 UWP with storage Folder

I want to make a small project. Something like a soundboard with jokes from work. But i can´t play sounds in UWP. I found this:

private async System.Threading.Tasks.Task Button_ClickAsync(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {

            MediaElement PlayMusic = new MediaElement();
            PlayMusic.AudioCategory = Windows.UI.Xaml.Media.AudioCategory.Media;
            StorageFolder Folder = Windows.ApplicationModel.Package.Current.InstalledLocation;
            Folder = await Folder.GetFolderAsync("folder");
            StorageFile sf = await Folder.GetFileAsync("song.mp3");
            PlayMusic.SetSource(await sf.OpenAsync(FileAccessMode.Read), sf.ContentType);
            PlayMusic.Play();
        }`

but i dont know where I have to put the sound. I have tried the Assets folder but it didn´t work. Im a newbie and sorry for my bad english.

You can select your file to play using FileOpenPicker or you can place your file in assets folder and access using uri. Added both sample code snippet below

//Play from file

private async void PlayFromFile(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        //Play from file
        FileOpenPicker openPicker = new FileOpenPicker();
        openPicker.ViewMode = PickerViewMode.Thumbnail;
        openPicker.FileTypeFilter.Add(".m4p");
        openPicker.FileTypeFilter.Add(".mp3");
        var sf = await openPicker.PickSingleFileAsync();
        MediaPlayer mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
        mediaPlayer.Source = MediaSource.CreateFromStorageFile(sf);
        mediaPlayer.Play();           
    }

//Play from assets folder

 private void PlayFromAssetsFolder(object sender,RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        //Play from assets folder
        MediaPlayer mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
        mediaPlayer.Source = MediaSource.CreateFromUri(new Uri("ms-appx:///Assets/audio.mp3"));
        mediaPlayer.Play();
    }
