While finishing my Android app developer course, I ran into this error during game development:

It took a long time to figure out the issue, so I thought I would try to save someone else the trouble.
It hinges on this line from the libGDX wiki example:
Music music = Gdx.audio.newMusic(Gdx.files.internal(“data/mymusic.mp3”));
Which my line looked like this:
bgMusic = Gdx.audio.newMusic(Gdx.files.internal(“data/spblk.mp3”));
Should work right? But it didn’t. I had to change my line to this to make it work:
bgMusic = Gdx.audio.newMusic(Gdx.files.internal(“spblk.mp3”));
And put the mp3 file in the “assets” folder.
Hopefully, this will save someone else a really long, frustrating search!
Linux – keep it simple.
