Yes it should be inside the executable.

It will not be included if it's name begins with a dot like .my_mp3.mp3
It will not be included if it's folder name begins with a dot like
.my_mp3s/My_.mp3

otherwise the file should be inside the executable.

you can read the executables contents using gba3 -l
eg.
gba3 -l /my/dir/My_Project.gambas

if your mp3's are not hidden or in a hidden folder then they should be
inside and accessible with the uri's i previously mentioned.

Post a sample project where the mp3 is not being inside the executable and
i'll see if i can find the issue.
