I have pip installed pydub but still didn't work

After I had pip installed pydub and SpeechRecognition, I still can't make the program run successfully although I extracted the files from ffmpeg and specified the folder name bin in the corresponding directory. I tried to find solutions to solve the problem but it sill didn't work after I followed the steps clearly from the web. May I ask what is the good way to read .wav files using pydub AudioSegment?

  Warning (from warnings module):
      File "C:\Python38\lib\site-packages\pydub\utils.py", line 171
        warn("Couldn't find ffmpeg or avconv - defaulting to ffmpeg, but may not work", RuntimeWarning)
    RuntimeWarning: Couldn't find ffmpeg or avconv - defaulting to ffmpeg, but may not work

Make sure that you have ffmpeg http://www.ffmpeg.org/ installed. You can get help from this official page.

Other thing that I can think of is that ffmpeg is installed and is in your path but not in the path of the process using pydub.

If this is the reason for the error, then you can set the absolute path to ffmpeg directly like shown below:

import pydub
pydub.AudioSegment.ffmpeg = "/absolute/path/to/ffmpeg"
sound = AudioSegment.from_mp3("test.mp3")

Give this a try.
