Before getting my new HifiBerry Amp+ card I have used Pygame to play mp3 files in Python.

That does not work with Amp+.

Does anyone know a package on PyPI that can play mp3 files that works with Amp+?

Brgds,

Alex

  Hi Alex,

  there are already some projects here using Python. I don't see a reason why Pygame should not work. Check the exact error message. It can be a permissions problem.

  Best regards

  Hi Daniel. 

  I managed to find a solution!

  I added the line with pygame.mixer.pre_init! The code looks like this.

  import pygame

  
  while True:
  pygame.mixer.pre_init(frequency=44100, size=-16, channels=2, buffer=4096)
  pygame.mixer.init()
  pygame.mixer.music.load("a.mp3")
  pygame.mixer.music.play()
  while pygame.mixer.music.get_busy()==True:
  continue
