Help! Trying to load a song throws SharpDX.SharpDXException

I was following a simple tutorial online to learn the ins and outs of monogame for a Desktop application. I started learning how audio works and am now stuck because of a runtime error. I know how to load audio in with the pipeline tool and was able to successfully load in a SoundEffect object using it. However, when I try and follow the same procedure, this time using an mp3 specified to load in as a Song with the pipeline, and try to use Content.Load("songName"), a SharpDX.SharpDXException is thrown along with these details: SharpDX.SharpDXException occurred
HResult=0x80070002
Message=HRESULT: [0x80070002], Module: [Unknown], ApiCode: [Unknown/Unknown], Message: The system cannot find the file specified.

I'm very stuck and don't know what I did wrong. Is there something else I need to install to make this work? Please let me know, I appreciate any help.
