Is there a way to pause multiple sounds in my roblox game?

So, i’ve been trying to make a button which pauses the current randomized music playing in my game. But, the problem is that it doesn’t pause after I click a button. The output window doesn’t say anything. There is an issue with me defining a variable for the current sound though. Please help!!

local button = script.Parent
wait(0.8)
while true do
	local Sounds = workspace.MusicFolder:GetChildren()
	local RandomIndex = math.random(1,#Sounds)
	local RandomSound = Sounds[RandomIndex]
	RandomSound:Play()
	local currentsound = wait(RandomSound.TimeLength)
end
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	if play then
		currentsound.Volume = 1
		play = false
		script.Parent.Text = "Music: ON" else  
		currentsound.Volume = 0
		play = true         
		script.Parent.Text = "Music: OFF"
	end
end)

The while loop is yielding the current thread, so the entire button MouseClick portion isn’t even being executed.

I also don’t see you declare a play boolean.

Try this.

local button = script.Parent

local music = workspace:WaitForChild("MusicFolder"):GetChildren()

local paused = false

local currentSong = nil

local function musicLoop()
    while true do
        local randomSong = music[math.random(1, #music)]
        currentSong = randomSong
        randomSong:Play()
        randomSong.Ended:Wait()
    end
end
task.defer(musicLoop) -- Wraps the musicLoop function in a coroutine, which stops it from yielding the thread

local function buttonActivated()
    if paused then
        currentSong:Play()
        button.Text = "Music: ON"
    else
        currentSong:Pause()
        button.Text = "Music: OFF"
    end
    
    paused = not paused
end

button.Activated:Connect(buttonActivated)

The button text doesn’t change, also do I have to call the “MouseButton1Click” function for it to work? Because the player needs to click the button to pause the current music

No errors aswell.
