Re: [pygame] How to close audio file?

[James Paige <Bob@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Maybe my memory is fuzzy from so much time spent on Linux, but I thought 
Windows only locked files that you have open for writing. Shouldn't it 
not be locking a file that is only open for read?

Is it possible that mixer.music.load() is opening the music file in the 
wrong mode?
