TWHL removes single backslashes and replaces double backslashes with single backslashes. I think what stojke meant was

Yeah that. Its the MP3 that plays when you start the game. I checked woth -dev why wont it play, and thats what i got.
I went and compressed a song and placed it in the new folder i made, but it still wont work.

I think the mp3 has to be uncompressed. Try taking a look at the gamestartup.mp3 of another mod and see it's properties (channels, bitrate, etc.), then modify yours to match using audio software.

HL/2 is quite fussy about bitrates and such, try using a sound file that you know definitely works in HL (or extract one with gcfscape) to see if the file itself is the problem or if the engine is just failing to play any sound.
For reference, I use a .wav in my mod (so it can loop) but the specs are 16-bit, mono, 22050Hz @ 352kbps.

Yeah, you guys were right!
MP3_InitStream(29, mediagamestartup.mp3) successful
Which is strange, may i add, the exact same song i tried before work perfectly the last time... Well i guess its compression time. Thanks a lot.

More info - The error was because i didnt remove Album art image from the file.

well i have same problem but a little different..
I'm moved all half-life files to my another hard drive after that i cant listen any default half-life mp3 files in game(example "Half-Life01.mp3 or Prospero03.mp3") and i found this error message after that
i can hear when i use them with some other mod its strange
i can't get it work to my maps anymore, its annoying...
any suggestions?
