Question

hi i want to make a basic music player in python but i cannot figure out the right libraries for playing audio?
i am planning to use TkInter for implementing the GUI.

Any suggestions about the libraries i could use and the approach i should follow ?

Answer 1

Did you try the ones in the Wiki?

Answer 2

yes had i look at this link before , tried the wave module but did not succeed (constantly getting the same error "wave.Error: unknown format: 6", file attached)

So far what i have in mind is that these modules like wave and audioop are tools for manipulating audio files.

so for building the music player i will need the following steps:
1. A tool for manipulation of the audio
2. tool to play the audio(i.e sound from the speakers)
3. GUI part(later on)
if what i am thinking is correct approach , i still could not find a proper way to start implementing this approach. so it will be indeed helpful if you could elaborate a little more on how i should begin

PS: sorry for the weird sounds in the audio

Answer 3

The most easy way to play audio files in python is using Snack Toolkit in my opinion.

u can Install the module here

it can play wav and mp3 files quite easily
here is the example code---
s = Sound()
s.read('abc.wav')
s.play()
