How can I play music in Python? Without PyGame!

Question

¿Cómo puedo reproducir música en Python?
¡Sin PyGame!

Answer 1

I ran this script on my android phone in pydroid 3 and it works for sure, I just played a song. NO WINDOW so don't complain about pygame it's the only one I've found that works

import os
import time
from pygame import mixer

DIR = "/storage/emulated/0/Download/"
os.chdir(DIR)

mixer.init()
mixer.music.load("Ayo Technology.mp3")
mixer.music.play()
while mixer.music.get_busy(): # wait for music to finish playing
time.sleep(1)

EDIT: And for the geniuses with a problem with this answer, the parameter of mixer.music.load() is a personal file, NOT just a plug and play. Put a song in the downloads file and use THAT name you gods of code. And mabey, try it out first.

Answer 2

pip install playsound==1.2.2

from playsound import playsound
playsound('music_here.wav')
playsound('music_there.mp3', True)

OR with Qt

pip install python-vlc

import vlc
vlc.MediaPlayer("music_everywhere.mp3").play()

Answer 3

What do you mean? Playsound is a single function module. You can only interrupt or suspend it, e.g. by using the multiprocessing and psutil modules:

import multiprocessing as mp
from playsound import playsound
import psutil

class Player:
def __init__(self, filepath ):
self.filepath = filepath

def play(self):
playsound(self.filepath,True)

if __name__ == "__main__":
mp.set_start_method('spawn')
import multiprocessing as m
pause = False
player = Player('music.mp3')
process = mp.Process(target=player.play)
process.start()

while process.is_alive():
input()
pause = not pause
if pause:
psutil.Process(process.pid).suspend()
else:
psutil.Process(process.pid).resume()

Big plus of the playsound - it doesn't have any dependencies.

If you need GUI, then you can use tkSnack(then you need Tkinter)

If you need a player, look towards this cool project, for example.

Here is the documentation for the standard libraries in python that you can use to play audio.

Answer 5

Thanks to all.
But, Alexey Kopyshev , how I can upgrade the system?

Answer 6

Alexey Kopyshev
Pydroid say I need install pygobject and my pip need be upgraded

Answer 7

You probably installed version 1.3.0 by default. Uninstall it. You need 1.2.2
just open terminal in pydroid and type:
pip install pydroid==1.2.2

Answer 8

Hmm... for pygobject you need pycairo. Pip you can easily upgrade: pip install --upgrade pip

Answer 9

Alexey Kopyshev
Thank you, but now I can't install pycairo, I install pyproject

Answer 10

I use termux on Android for Python and Pydroid only as editor. Maybe you should also try it.
Here's the full instruction how you can setup termux https://www.fatalerrors.org/a/basic-use-of-termux.html

Answer 11

import playsound
playsound("Filepath")

Answer 12

Slick , sorry about my thumb down. At the moment for Pydroid, your option is the only one that works. They never turned on pycairo support, even though they've been asking for it for a long time. All the other options bring with them a GUI.
