Specialfolderpath("resources") is especially convenient in another way. In
a standalone it points to the location of the files that were added to the
Copy Files pane of the standalone settings. But in the IDE it points to the
folder containing the current mainstack. If you organize your files on disk
inside the folder containing the mainstack, you don't need to branch the
code to provide a full path during development. SpecialFolderPath will work
the same way in either environment.

Include the .mp3 file (say "myFile.mp3") in the "Copy Files" section. This
will be accessible from the **standalone** using the
<specialFolderPath("resources")> function.
* - starting the player*
on mouseUp
local tFilename
put specialfolderpath("resources") & slash & "myFile.mp3" into tFilename
// NOTE: In the IDE you'll need the full path to your "myFile.mp3"
set the filename of player 1 to tFilename
start player 1
end mouseUp
