  • your file path is using mixed forward and backward slashes. that's probably causing the file to not be found... – Aaron Jun 28 '22 at 16:07
  • tried that as well bro same issue @Aaron – Muhammad Usman Jun 28 '22 at 16:55
  • you have 2 different issues at hand here... fixing the file path should fix the `FileNotFoundError` I haven't looked in to what can cause the other error message. – Aaron Jun 28 '22 at 17:12
  • ok @Aaron i have added some pics to explain more , pls look into it – Muhammad Usman Jun 28 '22 at 17:38
  • don't use double forward slashes. we can't really help you solve a file not found error - this isn't a music library problem - you just need to correctly reference the file. try debugging with something simpler like `os.listdir` or `os.isfile`. good luck! – Michael Delgado Jun 28 '22 at 17:42
