Here is my simple code to play mp3:
#Let's play some mp3 files using python!from pydub import AudioSegmentfrom pydub.playback import playsong = AudioSegment.from_mp3("/media/rajendra/0C86E11786E10256/05_I_Like_It_Rough.mp3")play(song)When i run this program, it says:

sudo apt-get install ffmpegNote: Tested on Ubuntu 18.04
Like the warning says:
Couldn't find ffplay or avplay - defaulting to ffplay, but may not workYou need to have either ffplay or avplay; however ffplay refers to ffmpeg which is not installable in Ubuntu in recent versions. Install the libav-tools package with apt-get:
sudo apt-get install libav-toolsSeems like you need ffmpeg, but
sudo apt-get install ffmpeg does not work anymore. You can get ffmpeg by:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jon-severinsson/ffmpegsudo apt-get updatesudo apt-get install ffmpegI've faced the same problem on my Ubuntu Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS.
The issue is being solved by simply installing ffmpeg using:
sudo apt-get install ffmpeg Instead of the popular Git-thread (https://github.com/lengstrom/fast-style-transfer/issues/129) suggestion of:
brew install ffmpegBut you can always try both if the one doesn't work.
If it won't let you install using sudo apt-get install libav-tools You can download the .deb from here:
wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/339874908/libav-tools_3.3.4-2_all.deb
Then run sudo apt install ./libav-tools_3.3.4.2_all.deb
