Is there any Python module to play all .mp3 files in a directory?

Question

I would like to play all the mp3 files one by one in a directory using python, is there any module that will help me out to perform the task

Answer 1

You may want to look at the pygame package. It lets you play MP3s.

Building off this related SO question, you could do something like

from time import sleep
from pathlib import Path  # for directory listing
import pygame

DIRECTORY = Path('./path/to/your/directory')
mixer.init()

for fp in DIRECTORY.glob('*.mp3'):
    # add each file to the queue
    mixer.music.load(str(fp))
    mixer.music.play()

    # now wait until the song is over
    while mixer.music.get_busy():
        sleep(1)  # wait 1 second

Note that the order of glob() isn't controlled here, so you may want to introduce your own sorting/ordering.

Answer 2

You can use the python ffmpeg (https://pypi.org/project/ffmpeg-python/)

use a loop to check for all files in the directory and use ffmpeg to play the mp3 file.

Answer 3

import os
import pygame

pygame.init()
pygame.mixer.init()

lists_of_songs = os.listdir("/path/to/the/directory")

for song in lists_of_songs:
    if song.endswith(".mp3"):
        file_path = "/path/to/the/directory/" + song
        pygame.mixer.music.load(str(file_path))
        pygame.mixer.music.play()
        print("Playing::::: " + song)
        while pygame.mixer.music.get_busy() == True:
            continue
