How do I change a Player's GUI depending on a property?

I'm currently working on a GUI that shows the player what song is currently playing. I have gotten a Sound object with a script that keeps changing the song, and it works just fine. And I've also done a GUI in StarterGui that shows everything.

I have a Gui, Frame and TextLabel, inside the TextLabel is a script, that should change the player's GUI based on that property, this is how it looks like:

--\\ VARIABLES

local sound = game.Workspace.Misc.PlaySongs
local playerGui = game.Players.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
local text = playerGui.CurrentSong.Frame.SongName

--// VARIABLES

--\\ CHANGER

if sound.SoundId == 3734646965 then
    text.Text = "Buttercup"
elseif sound.SoundId == 1560173003 then
    text.Text = "Oh Klahoma"
elseif sound.SoundId == 3524204087 then
    text.Text = "Dead Weight"
elseif sound.SoundId == 4664971308 then
    text.Text = "Life Could Be A Dream!"
elseif sound.SoundId == 3687583783 then
    text.Text = "Lolipop"
elseif sound.SoundId == 4509807932 then
    text.Text = "Chill Mix idrk lol"
end

But it doesn't change anything, I've tested it with a print("") as well, for some reason it does not see when the property is changed. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I am having the same exact issue as you as well, except when reading the value of a StringValue User#35964 0 — 4y

REMEMBER: the songs not only are composed with the id! they have an extension also "rbxassetid" look:

--\\ VARIABLES

    local sound = game.Workspace.Misc.PlaySongs
    local text = script.Parent

    --// VARIABLES

    --\\ CHANGER
     while true do
         wait(0.1)
    if sound.SoundId == "rbxassetid://3734646965" then --Convert the number value to string --value
        text.Text = "Buttercup"
    elseif sound.SoundId == "rbxassetid://1560173003" then      
           text.Text = "Oh Klahoma"
    elseif sound.SoundId == "rbxassetid://3524204087" then
        text.Text = "Dead Weight"
    elseif sound.SoundId == "rbxassetid://4664971308" then
        text.Text = "Life Could Be A Dream!"
    elseif sound.SoundId == "rbxassetid://3687583783" then
        text.Text = "Lolipop"
    elseif sound.SoundId == "rbxassetid://4509807932" then
        text.Text = "Chill Mix idrk lol"
    end
end

I also highly recommend to shorten the song list part,you will need it

And change the script to server script, not local

I've done this and it still doesn't change my text, thank you for reminding me of the rbxassetid:// thing, but even when it is put like that the GUI doesn't change it's text, could it be a problem in the playerGui where it doesn't identify it? OrdinaryTeaCup 0 — 4y

I've also recorded and posted that the script has no errors or anything and the music playing and all that, here's the link, maybe it help with finding the problem? https://streamable.com/4finm7 OrdinaryTeaCup 0 — 4y

Try to change the local script to a server script yuni_Boy1234 320 — 4y
