I'm writing a game in XNA 4.0 that needs to be able to load MP3 sounds from files on disk. I can't use the content pipeline as that would prevent users from loading their own music. I've looked around a bit, and found a good question that featured a C# Ogg library, but I'd rather stick with MP3 for simplicity.

Is there a straightforward way to do this?

Have you tried `Song.FromUri()`? – Cole Campbell Sep 25 '13 at 18:25
Yes - it chokes on paths with spaces, and I can't get it to play by reflecting an internal constructor, either. I don't think it's the right option for me. – Chris Akridge Sep 25 '13 at 20:43
Well, have you tried to load a file with a path with no spaces? – user1306322 Oct 17 '13 at 20:28
I cannot guarantee that all audio files will have no spaces in their paths. – Chris Akridge Oct 20 '13 at 13:32
