Playing mp3 music in Python

Question

all right? Well I come here to ask for a solution regarding playing mp3 music in Python. I imported the Pygame library and used the mixer module to play python music:

import pygame
pygame.init()
pygame.mixer.music.load('brain_damage.mp3')
pygame.mixer.music.play(loops=0, start=0.0)
pygame.event.wait()

After I write this script and run my program, it gives an error output, saying:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/gabriel/Documentos/GitHub/Projetos Pessoais/olamundo.py/_exercicios/teste.py", line 3, in <module>

pygame.mixer.music.load('music/brain_damage.mp3')
pygame.error: Couldn't open 'music/brain_damage.mp3'

For comparison purposes, I created another Python file and used the same code as the image above, and to my surprise, the mixer managed to run my mp3 file. You know why you proceed?

Answer 1

If mp3 is in the same script folder:

from pygame import mixer 

mixer.init()
mixer.music.load('brain_damage.mp3')
mixer.music.play()

If the mp3 folder is at the same level as the script you add a .:

from pygame import mixer 

mixer.init()
mixer.music.load('./teste/brain_damage.mp3')
mixer.music.play()

If the folder is one level above the script you add two .

from pygame import mixer 

mixer.init()
mixer.music.load('../teste/brain_damage.mp3')
mixer.music.play()

You can put the full path in the load, example: F:/stackoverflow/teste/brain_damage.mp3

The way teste is fictitious, you should check the path to the file in question.
