Ok, sorry. Heres my code:

import glob
import random
import os

songs = glob.glob('C:\###\###\###\*.mp3')
pick = random.choice(songs)
os.system(pick)

And yes, I know there are better ways of randomly selecting
a .mp3 file to play but I don't care.

my guess is that the real problem is that you get back filenames with spaces in them, which gets treated as multiple arguments by os.system.

using os.startfile will fix this:

>>> import glob, os, random
>>> file = random.choice(glob.glob("\\music\\*.mp3"))
>>> file
'\\music\\Madrugada - Grit - 05 - Seven Seconds.mp3'
>>> print file
\music\Madrugada - Grit - 05 - Seven Seconds.mp3
>>> os.system(file)
'\music\Madrugada' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
1
>>> os.startfile(file)
... music starts playing ...
