aah yes so you would want code something like this if you have a clip.mp3
file in a folder called sounds in the project dir...

Public sClipFile As String = "./sounds/clip.mp3"

Public Sub Form_Load()

 PlayInternalMusic(sClipFile)

End

Public Sub PlayInternalMusic(sFile As String)

  Dim sTempName As String = File.Dir(Temp()) &/ File.Name(sFile)

  If Not Exist(sTempName) Then Copy sFile To sTempName
  Music.Load(sTempName)
  Music.Play()

End

Respects
