Python 3.6: must be str, not bytes error with playsound module

I wrote an incredibly simple code just to check if the module is working, but I keep getting 'must be str, not bytes' error.

Here's the code:

from playsound import playsound

playsound('C:\\Users\\User\\Desktop\Müzik\\January\\The Rolling Stones - Paint It, Black (Official Lyric Video).mp3')

And here's the exact error:

 Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:/Users/User/PycharmProjects/playsound/play_sound/__init__.py", line 3, in <module>
playsound('C:\\Users\\User\\Desktop\Müzik\\January\\The Rolling Stones - Paint It, Black (Official Lyric Video).mp3')
File "C:\Python36\lib\site-packages\playsound.py", line 34, in _playsoundWin
winCommand('open "' + sound + '" alias', alias)
File "C:\Python36\lib\site-packages\playsound.py", line 29, in winCommand
'\n    ' + errorBuffer.value)
TypeError: must be str, not bytes

Appreciate the help.

That's a bug of playsound with Python 3 on windows apparently: Doesn't work with python 3.5 under windows 10
