Sound not showing up on MediaPlayer.create

I'm following the directions of the teacher and after I add the MediaPlayer.create I have to include a context and a resid. My problem is the CrystalBall mp3 that I placed in the raw folder (which is in the res folder) is not showing up. Bonus points if someone can more clearly explain why we write "this" for the context.

Try right clicking on your raw folder, and selecting refresh. Then if intellisense continues to give you grief, check that you get an error if you just type in the file name yourself (without .mp3) and if so, try deleting and reimporting. I had this issue with some graphics files once, but it was just something simple that i managed to click my way through after refreshing and reimporting.
