title: PyGame MP3 won't play
body: <p>I'm using the code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import pygame, sys, datetime
  from pygame.locals import *
  pygame.init()
  screen = pygame.display.set_mode((640, 480))
  screen.fill((0, 0, 0, 255))
  pygame.display.set_caption("TESTIFICATE")
  if datetime.date.today().month == 12 and datetime.date.today().day == 25:
      pygame.mixer.music.load("8bit-jingle-twist.mp3")
      print("Merry Christmas!")
  else:
      pygame.mixer.music.load("timeless-mountains.mp3")
  print("Loading Music...")
  pygame.mixer.music.play(-1, 0.0)
  print("Playing Background Music...")
  while True:
      for event in pygame.event.get():
          if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
              pygame.quit()
              sys.exit()
      pygame.display.update()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Both <code>8bit-jingle-twist.mp3</code> and <code>timeless-mountains.mp3</code> exist and can be played by VLC. My volume <em>is</em> on, as is my confusion.</p>
