Python audio library - hbknjr - Aug-07-2017
I am creating a project that has a module which requires audio playback.(similar to a music player)
So I'm looking for a Python audio library that:
1- Supports mp3 and Ogg file format
2- Platform independent or supports Windows and Debian(Linux)
3- Support play, pause, and seeking.
4- Well documented and simple API.
5- Return signal on playback completion.
Few I tried:
a- PyQt4 phonon-> Not working on windows, getting errors.
b- Pydub - doesn't have pause and seeking.
c- Simpleaudio - supports only wave.
Please suggest.

pygame's mixer.music module supports mp3 and ogg, runs on most platforms, supports play/pause/seek, has a fairly simple api, AND you can set a callback event to fire when it completes.
https://www.pygame.org/docs/ref/music.html
Don't let the pygame name fool you, it's built modularly, so you can init() just the mixer, and it can work without a display attached.

Thanks for suggestion. I'll check it out.

I have used PyGame module to build a basic mp3 player. The sound quality was awesome.

An other option is Pyglet.
Sound and video
Quote:
- Load images, sound, music and video in almost any format.
- pyglet can optionally use AVbin to play back audio formats such as MP3, OGG/Vorbis and WMA, and video formats such as DivX, MPEG-2, H.264, WMV and Xvid.

Good suggestion, thank you. I thought it would be too many dependencies.Its well documented too.
