As it says it is a pygame error, so you will probably get more
advice on the pygame support forum. However things to check are
whether you need to install or configure specific codecs to play mp3s.
There are (or used to be) licensing issues with mp3 files that
meant not all software supported it by default. You might have
to do something to tell pygame about lame (or whatever decoder
you use)
