pygame and it is one of the best modules for doing so.

In order to play music/audio files in pygame, pygame.mixer is used (pygame module for loading and playing sounds). This module contains classes for loading Sound objects and controlling playback. There are basically four steps in order to do so:
- Starting the mixer
mixer.init()
- Loading the song.
mixer.music.load("song.mp3") - Setting the volume.
mixer.music.set_volume(0.7)
- Start playing the song.
mixer.music.play()
from pygame import mixer
# Starting the mixer
mixer.init()
# Loading the song
mixer.music.load("song.mp3")
# Setting the volume
mixer.music.set_volume(0.7)
# Start playing the song
mixer.music.play()
# infinite loop
while True:
print("Press 'p' to pause, 'r' to resume")
print("Press 'e' to exit the program")
query = input(" ")
if query == 'p':
# Pausing the music
mixer.music.pause()
elif query == 'r':
# Resuming the music
mixer.music.unpause()
elif query == 'e':
# Stop the mixer
mixer.music.stop()
break
This code will also play the "song.mp3" file.
