Import it to your resources. You can do this by going to: My project (Double Click) > Resources > Add Resource > File.
Call with: My.Resources.<Identifier>

Either add it to resources or download it from an url.
Code
Dim webclient As New Net.WebClient
Dim sound() As Byte = webclient.DownloadData("http://www.wavsource.com/snds_2014-09-21_2643861498792963/sfx/applause_y.wav")

Pretty much like Selcouth just said; Import the soundtrack or mp3 to your resources and then write the code to play it.

I recommend streaming the sound from a URL if the client has internet connection.
It will make the download a lot smaller.

Again does not make sense, your speed still depends on server speed / ISP speed, plus the fact it might just happen the server response isn't what you hoped for andthus lagging your entire application since you do not use ASynch stream/download.
Where did you learn to program? sirously..who told you?

My idea is the following.
An if statement to check for internet connection, if yes then download the file and play it if no then copy the sound file provided to a dir like temp, like what odus said. Thoughts ?

Reverse you're idea and it would be good.
Check the Temp folders, if the song is not their then download it using webclient and store it in the temp folder. Then play. That way you always download it once.
And use the async method too so your UI doesn't hang.
