How to play in-game sounds?

I'm trying to create a simple game by using Pygame and I want to add some in-game sounds repeating during play time. However, the game stops running when I apply those codes:

def in-gameSounds():
    pygame.mixer.init()
    startTime = time.time()
    theFile = 'Sounds/gameSound.ogg'
    theFile2 = 'Sounds/gameSound2.ogg'
    pygame.mixer.music.load(theFile)
    pygame.mixer.music.play()
    playing = True
    while playing == True:
            while time.time() <= startTime + 457:
                time.sleep(0.01)
            pygame.mixer.music.stop()
            pygame.mixer.music.load(theFile2)
            while time.time() > startTime + 457 and time.time() <= startTime+ 3752:
                time.sleep(0.01)
            pygame.mixer.music.stop()
            for click in pygame.event.get():
                if click.type == pygame.KEYDOWN:
                    if click.key == pygame.K_ESCAPE:
                        playing = False
            startTime -= 3752
    pygame.mixer.quit()

Have you tried passing pygame.mixer.music.play() an argument of -1? That makes it loop indefinitely. From there you can use the pause(), unpause(), and rewind() methods.

You could always use pygame.mixer.init() followed by pygame.mixer.music.play(-1) in the top of your program instead of putting it in a function. Since a value of -1 one inside of the () will mean an infinite loop, the music will continuously play unless forced to stop via program killing, Ctrl-C, etc.

pygame.mixer.init()                         # Initiate pygame.mixer
pygame.mixer.music.load('song_name_here')   # Load song to play
pygame.mixer.music.set_volume(0.7)          # Change volume
pygame.mixer.music.play(-1)                 # Play song infinitely
