Audio file path not dynamic

I need the audio file to played when the app runs and it does this successfully, the only problem is is when I move the application to a different PC, the sound won't work because the file path doesn't return true any more. How do I fix this?

namespace Dewey_Decimal_System
{
    public partial class Dewery_Decimal_System : Form
    {
        private int _ticks;

        public Dewery_Decimal_System()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            Second();
            timer1.Start();
            

            SoundPlayer splayer = new SoundPlayer(@"C:\Users\Luke Warren\Desktop\Prog3B\Dewey Decimal 
            System\Media\EntroMusic2.wav");
            splayer.Play();


            panel1.Hide();
            button1.Hide();
            button2.Hide();
            button3.Hide();
            this.Hide();

        }

Code:

string path = Path.Combine(Environment.CurrentDirectory, "Sounds", "SoundForCorrectAnswer.wav");
            SoundPlayer player = new SoundPlayer(path);
            player.Play();

("Sounds" is the folder where the sounds are located, in this situation SoundForCorrectAnswer.wav) Here's the code, but you have to go properties of the sound and try the following steps:

  1. Right-click on the sound file in the Solution Explorer and select Properties.

  2. In the Properties window, set the "Copy to Output Directory" property to "Copy always" and for "Build Action" set "Content".

  3. Run

You would do something like this to get the path "Data\ich_will.mp3" inside your application environments folder.

string fileName = "ich_will.mp3";
string path = Path.Combine(Environment.CurrentDirectory, @"Data\", fileName);

In my case it would return the following:

C:\MyProjects\Music\MusicApp\bin\Debug\Data\ich_will.mp3

  • Fastest way: Just use SoundPlayer splayer = new SoundPlayer(@"EntroMusic2.wav"); And move file "EntroMusic2.wav" into the same folder with the application exe file.
  • Ideal way: Move this file path into a config file instead of hard code it.
