Don't think SFML supports MP3, probably for licensing reasons. Consider using OGG files instead.

oggs are pretty much superior anyway  ;P

mp3 is only around because of familiarity and portable devices *cough*ipod*cough* seem to refuse to want to support ogg.

EDIT:  also, +1 for your musical taste.  Devo rocks.

Yeah it's a shame my walkman and Marantz CD player won't do OGG.

I am looking up Devo now :p

How did you convert it? Do you get the exact same error message?

I used this program:
http://download.cnet.com/Free-MP3-WMA-OGG-Converter/3000-2140_4-10793572.html

and it said the exact same but it had .ogg as the extension.

The error message was the same, I meant. But it had a .ogg instead of .mp3 on the file name.
