Running mp3 Format file

Question

I have this code in c#. But it does not run mp3 format file. Could you tell me what the error is in this code snippet:

WMPLib.WindowsMediaPlayer wplayer = new WMPLib.WindowsMediaPlayer();             
wplayer.URL = "D://j.mp3";             
wplayer.Controls.Play();

Error 1 The type or namespace name 'WMPLib' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) — user3202625, Jan 16 '14 at 13:17
`"D://j.mp3"` is probably not what you are looking for. I guess you probably mean `"D:/j.mp3"` or `"D:\\j.mp3"`, both of which should work. — Magnus Hoff, Jan 16 '14 at 13:20
Did you read the message? Did you even try to [search](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd564585(v=vs.85).aspx) for WMPLib? — crashmstr, Jan 16 '14 at 13:22

A quick google search on your class name yeilds:

"To create the Windows Media Player control programmatically, you must first add a reference to wmp.dll, which is found in the \Windows\system32 folder. Adding this reference creates WMPLib.dll in your project folder, and a reference to WMPLib appears in Solution Explorer."
