Not loading mp3 files.

[nikhilkharade]

the load function is not loading a mp3 file

The code :
import os
import librosa

path = 'D:/fma_small/000/000002.mp3'

path = os.fspath(path)

y, sr = librosa.load(path, duration=10)

ps = librosa.feature.melspectrogram(y=y, sr=sr, n_mels=128)

ps.shape

Expected Results

Just the shape i.e. (128, 431)

Actual Results

---
