[Python] Managing multiple simultaneous tasks with python for a simple music player

I have written a simple python script that act as a cli music player and organizer. I use the python input as a controller for the player such that for example when user enter "pause" the music will pause; when they enter "resume" the music will resume and so on. The main problem is when a music reach its end the player doesn't go for the next track because it waits for the user input. I need a solution which can run input separately and recognize the end of a track.

I try anything from threading to concurrent futures and ... I expected that my player could recognize the end of a track and played the next song.

def play_track(track):

print("------------------------------------")
print(f"Playing Track: | Title: {track['Title']} | Artist: {track['Artist']} | Album: {track['Album']}"
f" | Date: {track['Date']} | Length: {track['Length']}")
print("------------------------------------")

playback = Playback()
playback.load_file(track["Path"])
playback.play()

with concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor() as executor:
future = executor.submit(control)

while playback.active:

mediactl = future.result()

match mediactl:
case "pause":
playback.pause()
print("Track is paused")
case "resume":
playback.resume()
print("Track is resumed")
case "stop":
playback.stop()
print("Playback is stopped")
return
case "next":
playback.stop()
print("Next track is playing")
return "next"
case "prev":
playback.stop()
print("Previous track is playing")
return "prev"


def control():

mediactl = input("Control (pause | resume | stop | next | prev): ")
print("------------------------------------")
print()

if mediactl in ("pause", "resume", "stop", "next", "prev"):
return mediactl
return "invalid"
