dictionary - Python playsound doesn't seem to work with dictionaries

Question

I'm trying to play a sound using the python playsound command. It works when I try the following:

from playsound import playsound
playsound("C:/filepath1.mp3")

However, it doesn't seem to work with dictionaries.

NotePaths = {"C" : "C:.../filepath1.mp3"}
playsound([NotePaths["C"]])

This returns the following error and opens the playsound.py module:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:...Musical Quiz.py", line 27, in <module>
    playsound([NotePaths["C"]])
  File "C:UsersUsernameAppDataLocalProgramsPythonPython38libsite-packagesplaysound.py", line 35, in _playsoundWin
    winCommand('open "' + sound + '" alias', alias)
TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "list") to str

Am I doing something wrong, or is there no such function in the playsound command? It would also be great if someone could point me to a library that can play a sound using a dictionary/if anyone knows of a different way to link filepath1.mp3 to C that is compatible to the playsound command.

Answer 1

The problem with what you're doing is you are not playing the actual file.

You should change:

NotePaths = {"C" : "C:.../filepath1.mp3"}
playsound([NotePaths["C"]])

to

NotePaths = {"C" : "C:.../filepath1.mp3"}
playsound(NotePaths["C"])
