Music Player App using Tkinter in Python

Tkinter is a popular GUI library in Python that allows you to create graphical user interfaces easily. In this tutorial, we will show you how to create a simple music player app using Tkinter in Python. This app will allow you to play, pause, and stop music files.

Setting up the Music Player App

First, you will need to install the Tkinter library if you haven’t already. You can do this by running the following command:

pip install tk

Next, you will need to import the necessary modules in your Python script:


import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import filedialog
import pygame

Creating the Music Player Interface

Now, let’s create the basic layout for our music player app. We will include a play, pause, and stop button, as well as a file browser button to select the music file to play:


root = tk.Tk()
root.title("Music Player")

def play_music():
pygame.mixer.music.play()

def pause_music():
pygame.mixer.music.pause()

def stop_music():
pygame.mixer.music.stop()

def choose_file():
file_path = filedialog.askopenfilename()
pygame.mixer.music.load(file_path)

play_button = tk.Button(root, text="Play", command=play_music)
play_button.pack()

pause_button = tk.Button(root, text="Pause", command=pause_music)
pause_button.pack()

stop_button = tk.Button(root, text="Stop", command=stop_music)
stop_button.pack()

file_button = tk.Button(root, text="Select File", command=choose_file)
file_button.pack()

Running the Music Player App

Finally, you can run the music player app by adding the following code at the end of your script:


pygame.init()
root.mainloop()

Now, you can test out your music player app by selecting a music file and clicking on the play, pause, and stop buttons.

Congratulations! You have successfully created a music player app using Tkinter in Python.
