Python check if Winsound is playing a sound

Question

I need to make a script that checks if Winsound is playing the sound that I requested. Winsound doesn't have this built in but I cant use pygame because I need mp3 support. I found a user that had the same question on here but the code the answer provided isnt working for me link here's the code ive tried

import threading
import winsound

t = threading.Thread(target=winsound.PlaySound, args=["bt.wav"])
while True:
    print("playing")
    t.join(0)
    if not t.is_alive():
        print("stopped")

I get the error "RuntimeError: cannot join thread before it is started" but I have tried looking this up and I cant solve it because I literally have no knowledge about the threading module. Any help in fixing this would be appreciated.
