You could define the time you want it to stop in a script, wait for the sound to reach that point then :Stop() it.

Thank you!
do i need to put in in Sound?

#6

You donā€™t have to, but it might make sense to

#7

You can put i anywhere you just need to access the sound through the script, for example if you put the sound in workspace you type

local sound = game.Workspace.sound

The name of the sound in workspace isnā€™t ā€œsoundā€ is ā€œsound1ā€ change the name of the sound or the variable in the script

The solution is written below me, but also if you wanted to wait the exact amount of time that the sound lasts, you can replace

local TIME_LENGTH = 68 with local TIME_LENGTH = sound1.TimeLength - Amount you want to shorten the song by

You could easily find your answer with a quick google search.

The point was to end the sound early, which is why itā€™s a number and not the TimeLength

TimeLength is a read-only property, although we can ā€œchangeā€ it by setting the PlaybackSpeed to
current length/new length:

local Sound = script.Parent 

function SetLength(sound, length)
	sound.PlaybackSpeed = sound.TimeLength/length
end

--the sound must be loaded, therefore it only works on the client
local load = Sound.IsLoaded or Sound.Loaded:Wait()
SetLength(Sound, 34) --34 is the new length(in seconds)

as an additional solution you could use an external program to trim the audio

#19 
local sound = script.Parent.sound1
local TIME_LENGTH = 300

while true do
    sound:Play()
    task.wait(TIME_LENGTH) -- the sound will play again that makes the sound stop and play again (Looped)
end

edit: to explain he want to stop and play the song at a Specific time. That means he cant use the Normal ā€œLoopedā€ function thats already on sounds. thats why he need to use a Loop in the Script as well.
