Hello cman and Welcome to the Forum

This is a developers DiBo.As You are new to the DiBo, let me tell you that

1)If your consits of a code then you should embed it within the CODE option that is available from the symbol # during posting.
2) Please donot make multiple threads with the same topic (as you have done 2 threads with this topic)

Now to your problem

import appuifw
import e32
import audio


def playmidi():
    S = audio.Sound.open("E:\\sound1.mid")
    S.play()
    menu()
def playmp3():
    S = audio.Sound.open("E:\\sound2.mp3")
    S.play()
    menu()

playmidi() ##or playmp3() for mp3 file

The above code works for both midi as well as mp3 files.

Hope that helps

Hello Croozeus

Do you hear something ?
No I don't think so

Try this instead of your not working code :

import appuifw
import e32
import audio


def playmidi():
    global S
    S = audio.Sound.open("E:\\sound1.mid")
    S.play()
    menu()
def playmp3():
    global S
    S = audio.Sound.open("E:\\sound2.mp3")
    S.play()
    menu()

playmidi() ##or playmp3() for mp3 file

Thanks to Jethro.fn for discovering this problem and bring us a solution !

YES adding global S is VERY IMPORTANT !
