[python-win32] Play MP3s from Windows, Just Works

2008-08-12 Thread Michael Gundlach
Hi, Is there a way to play an MP3 from Python 2.5 in Windows, that doesn't require compiling C first? I'd like to make a package easy_installable [a different one this time!] that can then play MP3s without any other fuss. I've looked through the python-win32 archives, I've looked on Google,

Try pyglet [pyglet.org]. It wraps avbin for mp3,ogg reading and plays using directsound, alsa, etc. Not sure if it could be made easy_installable. ~Gerdus On Tue, Aug 12, 2008 at 8:14 AM, Michael Gundlach [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, Is there a way to play an MP3 from Python 2.5 in Windows,

Re: PyGame: I forgot that one in my list. Someone else tried it and said sound quality for MP3 playback was terrible (didn't verify myself though). Re: pyglet: thanks for the suggestion. Re: licensing: good point, and so I think that the best solution is... os.startfile('x.mp3'). Thank you,

Michel, This is perfect. Works like a charm, and I assume it's not due to my installing anything already besides Python itself. Thank you very much! I'll go put this into a simple mp3play module, and put a recipe in the Cookbook, to up the chance that people find this. Perhaps the module will

Hi! This is perfect. Works like a charm ... Thank you very much! Thanks for return. For info, MCI can, also, record from microphone, save file, give infos on sound files, play mp3, wma or mid, etc. It's an old techno of Windows. But... it's only on Windows. @-salutations -- Michel
