Re: [pygame] Mac OS X PyGame .ogg/.mp3 support?

Oddly enough, this time, an .ogg file did work. Not sure why the prior one I tried didn't work but...Thank you for the assistance.

Have you tried .ogg files?

Pygame Users,

     I'm somewhat new to Pygame. I've followed some tutorials online
and seem to have hit a snag. I'd like to use either a .ogg or .mp3
file to play as background music for my game. One tutorial I read
said this works fine and that Pygame supports those formats. However,
when running Pygame, the only type of sound file I can get to load
is .wav under Mac OS X. I'm wondering if I am missing libraries or
what might be the issue. A sample traceback and full (contrived)
source follows.
