Python Made Easy

Music

Pygame supports several audio formats for music, such as MP3, WAV, Midi, OGG, and MOD.

To add audio using Pygame, you’ll need to load an audio file

pygame.mixer.music.load(‘path/to/audio/file.mp3’)

To play the audio use play()

pygame.mixer.music.play()

To control the playback, use the functions like pause(), unpause() and stop(). For example:

pygame.mixer.music.pause()    # Pause the audio

pygame.mixer.music.unpause() # Unpause the audio

pygame.mixer.music.stop()     # Stop the audio

You can also set the volume of the audio using the `set_volume()` function, which takes a value between 0.0 and 1.0:

pygame.mixer.music.set_volume(0.5) # Set vol to 50%

To ensure that the audio continues playing, you can add a loop:

while pygame.mixer.music.get_busy(): ...
