Can't play .mp3 file using winsound on windows

I am trying to play an audio file but it only makes the windows alert sound when I open/run the code. How do I fix this?

EDIT: nothing on winsound works it just makes the windows alert noise (windows background.wav) right click on the sound button (bottom right), click sounds, click on the first one and press test. that's the noise.

code:

import winsound
winsound.PlaySound('music.mp3', winsound.SND_ASYNC)
Solution

  • by using pygame I found:

    from pygame import mixer # Load the required library

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

    which works fine
