No such file or directory when using ev3.speaker.play_file

[Serial-Comma]

Question
I have just started using micropython, so I apologise in advance if this is a relatively simple problem to solve

I want to play a mp3 file I have in my downloads folder on my ev3 brick, so I used this code:

#!/usr/bin/env pybricks-micropython
from pybricks.hubs import EV3Brick
from pybricks.ev3devices import Motor
from pybricks.parameters import Port
from pybricks.robotics import DriveBase

# Initialize the EV3 Brick.
ev3 = EV3Brick()

ev3.speaker.play_file('/Users/MyUsername/Downloads/hello.mp3')

However, it gives. me this error:

Starting: brickrun --directory="/home/robot/Hello_world" "/home/robot/Hello_world/main.py"
----------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/robot/Hello_world/main.py", line 11, in <module>
RuntimeError: Playing file failed: /Users/MyUsername/Downloads/hello.mp3: No such file or directory

----------
Exited with error code 1.

I'm using a mac OS. Does their file system work in some special way or something? I copied the file name directly from Finder's Right click -> Copy "hello.mp3" as pathname, so I don't really know what to do

I changed my username in the directory into "MyUsername" for privacy reasons(It's my irl name) but the same error occurs regardless.

Screenshots

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Could it be that you are confusing the MAC filename and the filename on the EV3?

Maybe try to copy the hello.mp3 to /home/robot/
and adapt the python program to use /home/robot/hello.mp3

Might also be that I did not correctly interpret your issue 😄

Place hello.mp3 in your project folder on your computer. So in the hello_world folder.

It will get downloaded to the EV3 automatically when you run your project.

In your code, use:

ev3.speaker.play_file('hello.mp3')
