The line :

file = open("file")

change "file" to the complete path of your text-file, like if your
file resides in c:\temp\music.txt, change it to :

file = open("c:\\temp\\music.txt")

And YES, the double backslashes are needed, or the \t in \temp is
interpreted as TAB. Just change that and run the script from PythonWin
or IDLE. They both come with Python, or eh ... at least IDLE does.
