Pydub errors with Jupyter Notebook

from os import path
from pydub import AudioSegment

pydub.AudioSegment.converter = r"C:/ffmpeg/bin"

# Assign files                                                                         
src = 'C:/Users/liora/Documents/Engineering/3rd Year/Individual project (EG3005)/Music Genre Classification/archive/songs/misunderstood_lucky_daye.mp3'
dst = "C:/Users/liora/Documents/Engineering/3rd Year/Individual project (EG3005)/Music Genre Classification/archive/songs/output.wav"

# Convert wav to mp3                                                            
sound = AudioSegment.from_mp3(src)
sound.export(dst, format="wav")

The output I believe I should get is:

<_io.Bufferedrandom name='dst.wav'>

The error displayed:

My System configuration:

• Python version: 3.9.5
• Pydub version: 0.25.1
• ffmpeg or avlib?: ffmpeg
• ffmpeg/avlib version: 1.4

Is there an audio file you can include to help us reproduce?

I’m not sure how to attach it, but it’s an audio file that’s roughly 3 minutes long.

Hello. Hope youre doing great! The win error 5 youre getting seems to be windows folder permissions. I’d try to run the python script under admin privileges or change the path of the source file to a non “C” one because that’s where most of the permission issues arise. You could also try to change the permission settings on the path folder. windows defender or antivirus might scream at you so I usually avoid placing external files in “C”. look at this as well How to fix - Error 5: Access is Denied in Windows 10 - Microsoft Community https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/how-to-fix-error-5-access-is-denied-in-windows-10/8a4069ea-4b0e-4517-9d7a-62c44b4d6e7d happy if I was any help Thanks.

Thank you so much for the advice, the error is gone! But now I get this:

I’ve tried to change the permission on the folder but it’s not working, and I have conflicts while trying to update python in anaconda.

Hello. I believe this is because you imported the AudioSegment object from pydub so you should reference it directly ie AudioSegment.converter = r"C:/ffmpeg/bin" If you wanted to reference it as pydub.AudioSegment.converter = r"C:/ffmpeg/bin" change import statement to import pydub
