Python : How to Play a mp3 File through Button-only for previewing sounds (Using Playsound instead QSound)

Question

I have my mp3 files, and about to run it from designed window I made from Qt Designer (using PyQt 4 and Python 2.7)

I do not know how to play it only from button without those mp3 player alike, I have found many projects that also can play mp3 files but it's a mp3 player not like this, only buttons to preview a mp3 files that have length only 12 seconds.

here is the code of the designed window, there are 4 buttons for each of mp3 files that I have

@eyllanesc QSound not supported on my version, but I have a solution so it can played but not through the button tho — Mekha, Jul 07 '18 at 05:25
@eyllanesc a little bit workaround and I nailed the answer's, change the QSound into playsound and DONE! Thank you so much for helping me review my own question — Mekha, Jul 07 '18 at 05:30
@Mekha you should consider answering your own question on here if you have come to a good conclusion. This could be helpful for any future developers that have a similar question. — MillerMedia, Aug 04 '18 at 00:17
@MillerMedia ah my apologize, I only put my answer on my question's post before. Now I added the answer on the answer post — Mekha, Aug 08 '18 at 03:50

Got myself an answer, and also thanks to eyllanesc for helping me to review my question.

Maybe QSound isn't supported in PyQt4 (in my version, no) but there's a workaround how to played it using playsound instead. Here's example on using playsound :

import playsound

playsound.playsound('/path/to/filename.mp3', True)

I putting my mp3 files same as the .py files (The Python file) so it's kinda messy a bit, but you could also put your mp3 files in designed folder (just directed it). And if you still want to use QSound do as This Post did instead mine.
