            SoundPlayer sp;
            assembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
            sp = new SoundPlayer(assembly.GetManifestResourceStream("Browser.Billie_Jean.mp3"));

        private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Assembly assembly;
            Stream soundStream;
            SoundPlayer sp;
            assembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
            sp = new SoundPlayer(assembly.GetManifestResourceStream("Browser.Billie_Jean.mp3"));
            sp.Play();
        }
        // etc.

When i debug my program , no sound sounds ... maybe because it's MP3 ?
