Any suggestions to troubleshoot the following would be appreciated.

Beat tracking example

import librosa

1. Get the file path to an included audio example

filename = librosa.example(‘nutcracker’)

2. Load the audio as a waveform y

Store the sampling rate as sr

mp3_path = ‘someproperpathandfilename like c:\temp\myfile.mp3’
y, sr = librosa.load(mp3_path)
