othere than the fact that you can use "workspace" instead of game.Workspace i see no errors in this code, so it may be somewhere else, show us more of it Nogalo 148 — 4y

Might be because you do the check if the sound is playing before it has started playing. You could make a while loop to wait for the sound to start playing. TheWaterFoox 255 — 4y

It's because it is only checking once. Do:
1 | while true do |
2 | if game.Workspace.MusicScript.S1.Playing == true then |
3 | script.Parent.Text = "Song: party" |
4 | end |
5 | wait() |
6 | end |

The reason it's not working is because it need to be constantly checking, a while true loop or while wait loop would work. Example:
1 | while wait(0.1) do |
2 | if game.Workspace.MusicScript.S1.Playing == true then |
3 | script.Parent.Text = "Song: party" |
4 | end |
5 | end |
That is probably the most simple but inefficient way of doing it. It SHOULD work though!

The most efficient way is runservice (stepped) i believe, give it a try as it rely's on a roblox service and not fully on the client (won't cause memory leaks)
1 | game:GetService("RunService").Stepped:Connect(function() |
2 | game:GetService("RunService").Stepped:Wait() |
3 | if game.Workspace.MusicScript.S1.Playing == true then |
4 | script.Parent.Text = "Song: party" |
5 | end |
6 | end) |

1 | local sound = workspace:WaitForChild("MusicScript").S1 |
2 | sound.Played:Connect(function() -- Connect a function once the sound starts to play |
3 | script.Parent.Text = "Song: party" |
4 | end) |
the reason for workspace:WaitForChild is that most of the times the player and its scripts loads faster than the game itself, so only necessary in studio.
