How to make music system?

I want to make a music system with different playlists that you can choose and I want to make a mute button, but when you turn on the music, I only want the playlist that was chosen to play. I haven’t scripted the part where you choose the playlist because I am working on the muting system.

Script:

local frame = script.Parent

local music = workspace.Music
local normal = music.Normal
local vibe = music.Vibe
local bass = music.Bass

local musicButton = frame.MusicButton
local nPlay = frame.NormalPlaylist
local vPlay = frame.VibePlaylist
local bPlay = frame.BassPlaylist

local nOn = true
local vOn = false
local bOn = false
local musicOn = true

local green = Color3.new(0, 0.666667, 0)
local red = Color3.new(1, 0, 0)

musicButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	if musicOn == true then
		musicOn = false
		musicButton.BackgroundColor3 = red
		--Mute Normal
		if nOn == true then
			nOn = false
			for i,v in pairs(normal:GetChildren()) do
				if v:IsA("Sound") then
					v.Volume = 0
				end
			end
		else
			print("Already Muted")
		end
		--Mute Vibe
		if vOn == true then
			vOn = false
			for i,v in pairs(vibe:GetChildren()) do
				if v:IsA("Sound") then
					v.Volume = 0
				end
			end
		else
			print("Already Muted")
		end
		--Mute Bass-boosted
		if bOn == true then
			bOn = false
			for i,v in pairs(bass:GetChildren()) do
				if v:IsA("Sound") then
					v.Volume = 0
				end
			end
		else
			print("Already Muted")
		end
	else
		--Unmute Playing ones
		musicOn = true
		musicButton.BackgroundColor3 = green
		if nOn == false then
			for i,v in pairs(normal:GetChildren()) do
				if v:IsA("Sound") then
					v.Volume = 1
				end
			end
		end
		
		if vOn == false then
			for i,v in pairs(vibe:GetChildren()) do
				if v:IsA("Sound") then
					v.Volume = 1
				end
			end
		end
		
		if bOn == false then
			for i,v in pairs(bass:GetChildren()) do
				if v:IsA("Sound") then
					v.Volume = 1
				end
			end
		end
	end
end)

The first part works with muting them all because it just sets them all to zero, but the tricky part for me is the unmuting part. I understand what is going wrong but I don’t know how to fix it or how to make only the chosen one to play.

If anyone knows how to achieve my goal, please help me out and reply down below. Happy holidays everyone!

For anything not playing you should call v:Stop() instead of settings its volume to 0, as that’s a lot of sounds playing at once. Stop() will also reset its time-postion to 0 so once you play it again it starts from the beginning.

I understand your architecture for this but I’m wondering – have you tried doing the same with a dictionary of sound ID’s instead? It could be one dictionary with all three genres and all their songs, then you’d only have a single “Sound” object to play/mute/stop. It would reduce the headache you’re getting a lot.
