Why is this not looping correctly?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

This is a very simple thing that frustrates me to no end that I can’t figure out.
I have a random music script. Pretty straightforward, literally just, pick a song from a list and play it. I don’t even have any player input to it. I have a virtually identical script in another game that works just fine.

This is the script

local songs = 
	{535308988,
	3169451873,
	2499949849,
	2406297887,
	465492273,
	852428251,
	197722393,
	1495400641,
	427662890,
	225497763,
	535308988,
	786465393}
local music = script.Parent

while true do
	local play = songs[math.random(1,#songs)]
	music.SoundId = "rbxassetid://"..play
	music:Play()
	music.Ended:Wait(1)
	end

What happens is I get in game, a random song plays, it loads the next song id into the sound thing, and then just doesn’t play. I don’t know what’s going wrong please save me

Pretty sure you have to make a new sound object every time you use the :Play() function. Make sure to create it each time, then destroy when ended.

I swear sound playing after 1 is finished keeps breaking over and over again

An alternate would be to just create a new Sound Instance, delete it after it ends, then clone a new one to set it that way:

local songs = 
	{535308988,
	3169451873,
	2499949849,
	2406297887,
	465492273,
	852428251,
	197722393,
	1495400641,
	427662890,
	225497763,
	535308988,
	786465393}

while true do
    local music = Instance.new("Sound")
    music.Parent = workspace --Or parent this to where your music object is

	local ID = songs[math.random(1,#songs)]
	music.SoundId = "rbxassetid://"..ID
	music:Play()
	music.Ended:Wait()

    music:Destroy()
end
