mp3s work but Pygame is very temperamental. Ogg files are ok.

Re: [pygame] sound files in pygame

[Daniel Foerster]

I've never had much success with mp3's in Pygame, ogg's seem to be much 
better supported across platforms. I'm a little surprised you were ever 
able to get some of those formats working, I didn't know m4a's were 
supported at all.

Hello folks,

We just went from Python on Windows to Mac and are experiencing
some Python crashes with some sound files. Mostly they are wavs
though sometimes mp3 or m4a. This never happened on Windows, so
we're wondering if there is something we don't know about how Mac
handles sound files..

Size of file doesn't seem to matter. We're just doing
pygame.mixer.Sound, then file.play().

Any suggestions more than welcome.

I had similar issues intermittently on windows and then switched to ogg
files. Since then everything seems tamed. Try that if not done already.

[pygame] sound files in pygame

[Bob Irving]

Hello folks,

We just went from Python on Windows to Mac and are experiencing some Python
crashes with some sound files. Mostly they are wavs though sometimes mp3 or
m4a. This never happened on Windows, so we're wondering if there is
something we don't know about how Mac handles sound files..

Size of file doesn't seem to matter. We're just doing pygame.mixer.Sound,
then file.play().

Any suggestions more than welcome.

I learned from "Python Programming For The Absolute Beginner (Third
Edition)" by Michael Dawson. Great book.
