mp3 should load fine from a file - it may have problems with loading from a
buffer or file-like object or for mixer.music, but I think it's an oversight
that it's not listed for the Sound constructor.
I think the problem is that the mixer is getting shutdown when you script
ends, stopping the playback. Try running a script that waits for the
playback to finish, either with just an arbitrary delay (time.sleep(3) ) or
waiting for the channel to be done, so something like this:
pygame.mixer.init()
s = pygame.mixer.Sound( path + "\CMaj.mp3" )
chan = s.play()
while chan.get_sound() != None:
pass
If you are still experiencing any kind of problem with 1.8.1 or the 1.9.0
pre-release builds, please submit a bug report (email the list or at the
bugzilla page) including both the script and the sound file needed to
reproduce the problem
