STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. from command line I launch
[code]$ juk file.mp3[/code]
or

or
[code]$ juk "file.mp3"[/code]
or
right clicking on the file manager on an mp3 file > open with > juk


OBSERVED RESULT
juk only opens up without playing any file. the only output I get from the cli is

Juk starts up and begins to play the specified file

Found a workaround: install playerctl and use the command playerctl -p juk open /path/to/file
