Audio file access

Question

I'm trying to access a .wav file from my hard drive and have been unsuccessful. I have the following code:
String wav = "file:///c:/tada.wav";
Player p = Manager.createPlayer(wav);
When I run the application and click on the play button i get an error saying that it cannot connect to the file. but the code compiles fine. If I try to access a file that resides online it works fine. i.e. if I enter a url instead of file:///c:/tada.wav
Any suggestions on how I should solve this problem? Should I throw this file in the 'res' folder and try to access it from there....how would do that then?

Hi my friend,
below is my code I think it will help you, where res is just a directory under my directory classes. Have fun.
protected void startApp() {
try {
String type = "audio/x-wav";
InputStream sourceStream = getClass().getResourceAsStream("/res/audio/bark.wav");
Player player = Manager.createPlayer(sourceStream, type);
player.start();
}
