Blender notifies you when it completes a RENDER SEQUENCE

Hi. I just came across this function:

bpy.app.handlers.render_complete

Callback list - on completion of render job

Many many maaany years ago I saw a plugin for Blender which sent you a custom SMS to your phone to let you know that a render is finished. The script later evolved into sending you email. I saw those scripts.

Fast forward 2019. We need Blender to notify us with a custom .mp3 sound that RENDER SEQUENCE has been completed. Not on baking. Not on test renders (F12). Not interrupted render sequences (either from timeline or vse)

Just nice little .mp3 playback when VSE is done on rendering, or general timeline is completed. Please rocket vote this to the sky. Thanks.

All good, but I think(disagree only in) that short sound on F12 - need (important) too. Because if your render on F12 takes just a few minutes - you will look aside and easy will miss (forget and dive into internet) when need to go back you to work. So short sound - will be really good for this purpose too. Btw, I have similar proposal :) blender.community/c/rightclickselect/jNcbbc/

This already exists. Has for a few years now. I wrote it: github.com/Fweeb/blender_render_music

(full disclaimer: I actually wrote the original patch that added that callback to Blender, specifically for this add-on)

Hm. May be there should be something like «Execute X, when finished». X can be file, command line or url. And anyone can make his own command line, what he want to execute: mp3-player with song or webscript to send sms.
