Music Sometimes Doesn't Play

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hello, in my last post on this subject → Music Player With Progress Bar → I got it working but now at some point, the music stops playing and after a random amount of time, it plays again. Here is my server script:

local Songs = game.Workspace.Sounds:GetChildren()

while true do
	local RandomSong = Songs[math.random(1, #Songs)]

	if RandomSong:IsA("Sound") then
		RandomSong:Play()
		RandomSong.Ended:Wait()
		RandomSong:Stop()
	end
end

Sorry if I made it sound confusing, ask me if you want me to explain it a bit easier.

I’m pretty sure you don’t need to use :Stop(). Disable Looped by the way!

This somehow works… thank you!

Edit: Sorry, this didn’t actually work. Does anyone know why the music sometimes doesn’t play?

Are you sure the music’s sound IDs are correct because maybe that’s the problem

#5

Are you trying to make a song playlist?

#6

If yes, then that be your script:

local Sound1 = game.Workspace.Sound.Sound1
local Sound2 = game.Workspace.Sound.Sound2
local Sound3 = game.Workspace.Sound.Sound3
local Sound4 = game.Workspace.Sound.Sound4

while true do
Sound1:Play()
Sound1.Ended:Wait()
wait(5)
Sound2:Play()
Sound2.Ended:Wait()
wait(5)
Sound3:Play()
Sound3.Ended:Wait()
wait(5)
Sound4:Play()
Sound4.Ended:Wait()
wait(5)
end

Remember To Check The Sound ID’s Are correct.
The “wait(5)” Command, That mean when song done. How much wait for play next song.

You could try implementing a wait() after the song stops?

local Songs = game.Workspace.Sounds:GetChildren()

while true do
	local RandomSong = Songs[math.random(1, #Songs)]

	if RandomSong:IsA("Sound") then
		RandomSong:Play()
		RandomSong.Ended:Wait()
		wait(5)
	end
end

If that doesn’t work, a different alternate would be to clone that specific Song Object, Play it, then Destroy it once it ends

I want the song playlist to be random, not set to one after the other.

I’ve had a problem like this before. Since I’m assuming this is playing right at the start of the game, it’s possible some of the sounds aren’t loaded. To make the script wait until the audio is loaded just do:

if not RandomSong.IsLoaded then
    RandomSong.Loaded:Wait()
end

This, if the audio isn’t loaded, waits for the audio to load before playing it, otherwise it will go straight to playing it. Bare in mind that if the audio is already loaded then Loaded will not fire again, which is why we also check if the audio is loaded first.
