Hi, I'm trying to play BGM using the Music class, and it works great.  However whenever I want to play a sound it has to be in the root folder of the executable!  I've tried specifying a "/sound" path in every syntax I could think of, and I was wondering what the proper syntax would be?

Here is the relevant line:
Code: [Select]
if (!Music.OpenFromFile("\sound\blues.ogg"))

Try "sound/blues.ogg" or "./sound/blues.ogg". By the way, backslashes are unportable and must be escaped. Prefer slashes.

Not only that, but if you use normal backslashes for some reason, you'll have to escape them ( '\\', instead of '\' ), unless you use C# in which case you can use @"\". But like Nexus said, use forward-slashes instead, it works on all platforms.
