The error above appear but only with MP3 Files and not when I open a python File instead

 from pygame import mixer 

 mixer.init() 


 mp3button = Button(master, text="Choose MP3", highlightthickness=0,bd=0, bg='black
',activebackground="black",fg="white",  command = lambda : see_check())




  checkvar = IntVar()
    checkplay = Checkbutton(master, text="Play MP3?",variable=checkvar ,onvalue=1 ,offvalue=0 ,font=('Arial',12), bg='blue', fg='white', activebackground='blue', activeforeground='white')



  def see_check(): 
        if checkvar.get() == 1: 
           
                file = askopenfile(mode='r',filetypes= [('MP3 Files', '*.mp3')])
                if file is not None: 
                    content = file.read()
                    mixer.music.load(content)
                    mixer.music.play()

How I get rid of this ? Thanks in advance :)

EDIT : Not working with mixer the sound does not play

EDIT 2 : It just display x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00$\x05\xc0\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x11\x83B\xb6\x10\xe0\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\xff\xfb\x10D\x00\x0f\xf0\x00\x00i\x00\x00\x00\x08\x00\x00\x0f\xf0\x00\x00\x01\x00\x00\x01\xfe\x00\x00\x00 \x00\x00?\xc0\x00\x00\x04\xff\xff\xfa\x98\x95\xa8\x9f\xff\xfc\xeb\x1cD\xfcn<\x18t\x and more even if I want to play the content not printing it

You need to pass the filename or the open file object (file for your case) instead of the content of the file.

Also I would suggest to use askopenfilename() instead of askopenfile():

def see_check():
    if checkvar.get() == 1:
        # use askopenfilename() instead
        filename = askopenfilename(filetypes= [('MP3 Files', '*.mp3')])
        if filename is not None:
            # pass the selected filename to mixer.music.load()
            mixer.music.load(filename)
            mixer.music.play()
