Thanks Ken. This is a helpful bit of code.

I finally got the mp3 to show up in the standalone, but it 
was by
putting it in the same directory as the standalone 
application, 
and not inside of the bundle itself. This will work for me,
as the mp3 doesn't need to be in the bundle.

Thanks everyone.
