How to play audio(.mp3) in python?

Question

Python

Hello! Which module can play music in mp3 format? Need cross platform. I tried PyQt Phonon, but it says that there is no module, although I installed it, I tried QSound but it only plays wav, what do you recommend?

Answer 1

pygame

import pygame
pygame.init()
song = pygame.mixer.Sound('file.mp3')
clock = pygame.time.Clock()
song.play()
while True:
    clock.tick(60)
pygame.quit()

Pyglet

import pyglet
song = pyglet.media.load('file.mp3')
song.play()
pyglet.app.run()

Gstreamer

import pygst
pygst.require('0.10')
import gst
import gobject
import os

mainloop = gobject.MainLoop()
pl = gst.element_factory_make("playbin", "player")
pl.set_property('uri','file://'+os.path.abspath('file.mp3'))
pl.set_state(gst.STATE_PLAYING)
mainloop.run()

You can also try PyMedia and PyAudio

Answer 2

convert to OGG use PyVorbis, because the MP3 decoder is not so free anymore

Answer 3

What if the music file is not seen by pygame?
Is this possible on pygame?:
import pygame
pygame.init()
powerup = pygame.mixer.Sound('Jeremy Blake - Powerup!.mp3')
clock = pygame.time.Clock()
def song(song):
pygame.mixer .music.stop()
song.play()
song(powerup)
