Except it doesn't (for me anyway).
If I issue the command:
mpg321 -l ./Playlist1/*.mp3
in a shell it works. In my Python program it doesn't, even if I explicitly
change directory to the one containing the files and format my statement as:
mp3_player = subprocess.Popen(['mpg321', '-q', '-m', '-a', 'hw:0,0', '*.mp3'])
If I use:
mp3_player = subprocess.Popen(['mpg321', '-q', '-m', '-a', 'hw:0,0', '01
Marche Episcopale.mp3'])
it works.
If I use:
mp3_player = subprocess.Popen(['mpg321', '-q', '-m', '-a', 'hw:0,0', *.mp3])
(eg no quotes around the *.mp3), I get a syntax error on the asterisk.
Can this be escaped somehow? Or is there something else that I've missed?
