Accessing Files from User Device using Flutter or Python

I am making a music player with flutter so, I wanna to ask how to access all the files of a particular extension ( mp3, wav ) with it’s details in Flutter or if not in Flutter then Python to play those music files with details like song name, author name

Answer

In python, you can basically do:

import os 
files=os.listdir("/path/to/folder or empty for working folder")
for file in files:
    if file.endswith("extension but for you .mp3/wav"):
        print(file)

By doing this you can get the file name with .mp3/wav extension. Otherwise you can use glob library:

import glob
for file in glob.glob("*.mp3 or /path/*.mp3"):
    print(file)

By using glob also output is same!

For getting artists and other metadata you can use songdetails library:

import glob
import songdetails

for file in glob.glob("*.mp3 or /path/*.mp3"):
    song = songdetails.scan(file)
    if song is not None:
        print(song)
        print(song.artist)
        print(song.duration)

For more information visit songdetails github page.
