OSError: [Errno 9] Bad file descriptor discord bot

Question

I am working on a discord bot using the discord.py API. I am trying to make the bot join a voice channel and play an mp3 file that is in the same directory. It joins the voice channel but prints the error in the title before playing anything. I was wondering what was causing this error. Relevant code below:

@client.command()
async def playClip(ctx):
    global voice
    channel=ctx.message.author.voice.channel
    voice= get(client.voice_clients, guild=ctx.guild)

    if voice and voice.is_connected():
        await voice.move_to(channel)
    else:
        voice= await channel.connect()

    voice.play(discord.FFmpegPCMAudio("BravoSix.mp3"))
    print("test")
    await voice.disconnect()

The problem is that the path you gave to the audio file is bad. You have to give it the whole path to the file using single backslashes

voice.play(discord.FFmpegPCMAudio("C:\whereever\the\file\is\BravoSix.mp3"))
