I have a piece of code that plays a sound using the playsound module but the file location gives an error:

import playsound

playsound.playsound('C:\\Users\\nc_ma\\Downloads\\Note1.mp3')

error:

Error 305 for command:
    open "C:\Users\nc_ma\Downloads\Note1.mp3"
Cannot specify extra characters after a string enclosed in quotation marks.

I was having a similar issue of Error 305 . Check your playsound version. There is an issue with version 1.3. Downgrading to version 1.2.2 worked for me.

Follow the below steps:

pip uninstall playsound
pip install playsound==1.2.2

Run the same file again. It should work.

I had the same problem and I tried another way: I used os

import os
os.startfile('path\\file.filetype')

and it started working for you:

os.startfile('C:\\Users\\nc_ma\\Downloads\\Note1.mp3')

or

from playsound import playsound
playsound('Path\\File Name.mp3')
