I am attempting to load an mp3 file in jupyter notebooks using AudioSegment in python. I have already tried following the instructions from this link and this link but I am still running into the following problems. Here is my code and the corresponding errors:
import sys
path_to_ffmpeg = "/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg"
path_to_ffprobe = "/usr/local/bin/ffprobe"
sys.path.append(path_to_ffmpeg)
sys.path.append(path_to_ffprobe)
from pydub import AudioSegment
AudioSegment.converter = "/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg"
AudioSegment.ffmpeg = "/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg"
AudioSegment.ffprobe = "/usr/local/bin/ffprobe"
from ffprobe import FFProbe
Trying to import AudioSegment gives this error:
/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/pydub/utils.py:170: RuntimeWarning: Couldn't find ffmpeg or avconv - defaulting to ffmpeg, but may not work
warn("Couldn't find ffmpeg or avconv - defaulting to ffmpeg, but may not work", RuntimeWarning)
filename = "file.mp3"
audiofile = AudioSegment.from_file(filename, "mp3")
audiolen = audiofile.duration_seconds #in seconds
Trying to load the audio file gives this erorr:

I am unsure how to troubleshoot this further. I am running on macOS Big Sur Version 11.1. Would really appreciate some help.
