I'm able to play audio like this:
ASPNetMedia.Audio("MediaPlayer1").LoadMedia ("http://mySite.com/AllMP3s/" + TrackTitle);

But that's just a temporary directory that we set up.

I want to be able to pull audio from a mapped network drive (z:\). I've tried everything and can't get it to play. Like the following below:
ASPNetMedia.Audio("MediaPlayer1").LoadMedia ("Z:\\Audio%20ALL\\AllMP3s\\sh_12_Rock.mp3");

Does the audio have to be in an IIS folder, or can I pull it from the local network? Please advise.

Yeah - you cant play a file tats not in your IIS.
Otheriwse people could request ANY file off your PC - that would be dangerous!

techy solution - Set up a Virtual Directory in yoru website such as /music and map it to z:\

Its a server setup issue - so if its giving your grief - im sure MSDN can help or any Network Admin dude.
