Look at the section "Playing a File" on this page: http://code.compartmental.net/tools/minim/quickstart/

It can't find your file because it's not in the data directory for your sketch.

You can select a file to add to your sketch's data directory via the Sketch > Add File... menu choice.

You're also not shutting Minim down correctly.

Follow the example on the page mentioned above to make sure that you are.

" It can't find your file because it's not in the data directory for your sketch."
That's not a problem if the full path is given.
But it must not be in Windows format, with backslashes, as these have a special meaning in strings.
player = minim.loadFile("C:/Users/Public/Documents/black.wav");
Alternatively, you can double the backslashes, but that's as much work and it looks ugly.
