how to play mp3

Question

my problem starts here:

pyttsx and gTTS module errors

gTTS works well, takes text from text file, but first creates mp3 file, then if I want listen, I must call

Answer 1

If you are on windows then this should do the job,

import winsound
winsound.PlaySound('your_file.mp3',winsound.SND_FILENAME)

Remember this package is only present in python for windows.

Answer 2

    import os
    os.system("music.mp3")

Answer 3

install pyglet using python -m pip install pyglet

Download installed here Link to AVbin setup ( it's a must )

32/64 bit

import pyglet

song = pyglet.media.load('file.mp3')
song.play()
pyglet.app.run()

That's all.

Answer 4

This will do the job and without the need for files:

def say(text, lang='en'):
""" Speak the provided text.
"""    
import pygame
from gtts import gTTS
import io
tts = gTTS(text=text, lang=lang, slow=False)
pygame.mixer.init()
pygame.init()  # this is needed for pygame.event.* and needs to be called after mixer.init() otherwise no sound is played 
with io.BytesIO() as f: # use a memory stream
    tts.write_to_fp(f)
    f.seek(0)
    pygame.mixer.music.load(f)
    pygame.mixer.music.set_endevent(pygame.USEREVENT)
    pygame.event.set_allowed(pygame.USEREVENT)
    pygame.mixer.music.play()
    pygame.event.wait() # play() is asynchronous. This wait forces the speaking to be finished before closing f and returning

Answer 5

I think you are looking for :

pyttsx3

Its an offline cross-platform TTS that's compatible with python3 and python2.

Install :

pip install pyttsx3

If u want an offline TTS for python unlike gTTS , pyttsx3 is your best choice in my opinion.

Answer 6

with pygame I have installation problem and not sure, how good is use it this way:

Can you provide more details about the pygame installation error?

I was able to use PYGAME with this code, where "hello.mp3" is a file in the same directory

from gtts import gTTS
tts = gTTS(text='Hello', lang='en')

tts.save("hello.mp3")

from Tkinter import *
root = Tk()

from pygame import mixer
mixer.init()
mixer.music.load('hello.mp3')
mixer.music.play()

root.mainloop()

vlc just how to install it?

I also used VLC. I have installed it with these commands:

sudo pip install python-vlc

And I got this error:

NameError: no function 'libvlc_new

So, I tryed the command:

sudo apt-get install vlc

And it worked with this code:

from gtts import gTTS
tts = gTTS(text='Hello', lang='en')
tts.save("hello.mp3")

from Tkinter import *
root = Tk()

import vlc
p = vlc.MediaPlayer("hello.mp3")
p.play()

root.mainloop()

Hope It help You.
