Reading a directory and outputting as sound

[loungeroom]

Hi everyone,

I'm a total beginner when it comes to code, and wondering if Python would be the best solution for this problem.

I use Audacity to convert files to sound using the import RAW data method, however I would like to set up an art installation with a Raspberry Pi in which when a USB drive is inserted it looks at the devices files and outputs everything as sound, one file at a time, without any user input. When the device is removed, I would like the sound to stop.

I have been looking into audioop, which i think can read non sound files as sound and output them, but I have no idea how to implement this as i have only had experience with visual interfaces.

Again, i'm a beginner and thanks for any suggestions/help.

I did post this on the Raspberry Pi forum here:
