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:

01--\\ VARIABLES
02 
03local sound = game.Workspace.Misc.PlaySongs
04local playerGui = game.Players.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
05local text = playerGui.CurrentSong.Frame.SongName
06 
07--// VARIABLES
08 
09--\\ CHANGER
10 
11if sound.SoundId == 3734646965 then
12    text.Text = "Buttercup"
13elseif sound.SoundId == 1560173003 then
14    text.Text = "Oh Klahoma"
15elseif sound.SoundId == 3524204087 then
16    text.Text = "Dead Weight"
17elseif sound.SoundId == 4664971308 then
18    text.Text = "Life Could Be A Dream!"
19elseif sound.SoundId == 3687583783 then
20    text.Text = "Lolipop"
21elseif sound.SoundId == 4509807932 then
22    text.Text = "Chill Mix idrk lol"
23end

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:

01--\\ VARIABLES
02 
03    local sound = game.Workspace.Misc.PlaySongs
04    local text = script.Parent
05 
06    --// VARIABLES
07 
08    --\\ CHANGER
09     while true do
10         wait(0.1)
11    if sound.SoundId == "rbxassetid://3734646965" then --Convert the number value to string --value
12        text.Text = "Buttercup"
13    elseif sound.SoundId == "rbxassetid://1560173003" then     
14           text.Text = "Oh Klahoma"
15    elseif sound.SoundId == "rbxassetid://3524204087" then
16        text.Text = "Dead Weight"
17    elseif sound.SoundId == "rbxassetid://4664971308" then
18        text.Text = "Life Could Be A Dream!"
19    elseif sound.SoundId == "rbxassetid://3687583783" then
20        text.Text = "Lolipop"
21    elseif sound.SoundId == "rbxassetid://4509807932" then
22        text.Text = "Chill Mix idrk lol"
23    end
24end

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
