Playing mp3 song on python

Try this. It's simplistic, but probably not the best method.

from pygame import mixer  # Load the popular external library

mixer.init()
mixer.music.load('e:/LOCAL/Betrayer/Metalik Klinik1-Anak Sekolah.mp3')
mixer.music.play()

Please note that pygame's support for MP3 is limited. Also, as pointed out by Samy Bencherif, there won't be any silly pygame window popup when you run the above code.

Installation is simple -

$pip install pygame

Update:

Above code will only play the music if ran interactively, since the play() call will execute instantaneously and the script will exit. To avoid this, you could instead use the following to wait for the music to finish playing and then exit the program, when running the code as a script.

import time
from pygame import mixer


mixer.init()
mixer.music.load("/file/path/mymusic.ogg")
mixer.music.play()
while mixer.music.get_busy():  # wait for music to finish playing
    time.sleep(1)

Grab the VLC Python module, vlc.py, which provides full support for libVLC and pop that in site-packages. Then:

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

And you can stop it with:

>>> p.stop()

That module offers plenty beyond that (like pretty much anything the VLC media player can do), but that's the simplest and most effective means of playing one MP3.

You could play with os.path a bit to get it to find the path to the MP3 for you, given the filename and possibly limiting the search directories.

Full documentation and pre-prepared modules are available here. Current versions are Python 3 compatible.
