How to Play a Mp3 file using Python in Windows?

Question

I have tried playing file using Pygame This is the following code:

    import time, sys
    from pygame import mixer
    # pygame.init()
    mixer.init()

   sound = mixer.Sound("C:\Users\sharathchandra\Downloads\17.wav")
   sound.play()

   time.sleep(5)

But it does not throw any error but the song is not played. I tried playing .wav files but with the same result I also tried pyglet But it shows >WAVEFormatException: AVbin is required to decode compressed media I would like to learn how to install AVbin I have run the codes using spyder on Windows and my python version is 2.7. I have also run many examples of pygame but no use. I want to Learn a correct way for Playing the mp3 files using Python and How to install the Desired Library For that Purpose.

Make sure the WAV file is encoded properly. There's many different formats for it, so go on the pygame wiki and check which one is proper. — Spooky, Jan 31 '16 at 02:11

This answer seems to have a bunch of extra code that doesn't directly answer the question, such as the clock stuff. I would try to minimize this to just what you need to load and play a .wav file. – Amndeep7 Jun 06 '16 at 20:53
this file was only trying to open a mp3 file. According the title, the code is for a mp3 file. You can get rid of the clock thing if you don't want it. it shows fps dynamically to monitor wave of audio file. – peter Jun 07 '16 at 21:57
Thank you so much your solution worked perfectly and i think the clock stuff prevents the console from closing down right? – Adophilus Aug 22 '19 at 21:38

Try using this (solution taken from here):

mixer.music.load('C:\Users\sharathchandra\Downloads\17.wav') # you may use .mp3 but support is limited
mixer.music.play()

Many more ways can be found here and here.

Also, you might want to read the documentation on Pygame's music.

I Tried that Code Before The code throws no error But not able to hear any sound. – v.sharath chandra Jan 30 '16 at 17:02
Are you sure the file is at that location and your speakers are up? If so, try the other ways I have linked. – Idos Jan 30 '16 at 17:03

Try the VLC Python module, vlc.py, as explained here:

import vlc
p = vlc.MediaPlayer("file:///path/to/track.mp3")
p.play()

And you can stop it with:

p.stop()

Can you specify how to install the vlc module? – v.sharath chandra Jan 31 '16 at 04:44
Download `vlc.py` from [their git repository](https://git.videolan.org/?p=vlc/bindings/python.git;a=blob;f=generated/3.0/vlc.py;h=025331241e25bd6b39a6ede8a7a6b022d390ed6f;hb=HEAD) Put the file in the same place as your script and import it with `import vlc` – paeslago May 25 '18 at 11:06
