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

[David Tweet <davidtweet@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
   Try pygame.mixer.init() after initializing pygame.
   Oggs work fine for me, haven't tried mp3, but in the
pygame documentation describing pygame.mixer.music.play, it seems to
suggest you can use OGG, MP3 and MOD formats.

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.
