How do I get a random sound by Roblox?
I want to get a random sound from Roblox, to make some sort of radio. Like play a random sound from the hundreds of audio that ROBLOX has uploaded. Putting in all of the APM music that Roblox has uploaded in a table would be impossible, and I'm sure there's a way to automate this.
local sound = script.Parent
while true do
local randomAsset = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=" .. math.random(1, 999999999)
sound.SoundID = randomAsset
wait(1)
end

You cannot unless you get it manually. IEntity_303I 80 — 3y

This takes forever, but theoretically works. Hopefully it can be made faster.
local mps = game:GetService("MarketplaceService") -- Get the MarketplaceService
local sound = script.Parent
while true do
local randomAssetId = math.random(1, 999999999) -- Get the Id first so that we have it seperately from the url
local randomAssetUrl = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=" .. randomAssetId -- Does the normal thing, but with our variable instead of making up the id then and there
local musicId = "rbxassetid://" .. randomAssetId -- The id for the audio object
wait() -- Wait until the asset picking is done, not sure if this is necessary
local details = mps:GetProductInfo(randomAssetId) or false -- Get the details, or set to false if invalid id
if details then -- Check if valid object (details exist)
print("Valid Asset")
if details.AssetTypeId == Enum.AssetType.Audio then -- Check if the asset is an audio
print("Audio")
if details.Creator.Id == 1 then -- Check if the sound is uploaded by roblox (using id for if the ROBLOX account is ever renamed Roblox or something else)
sound.SoundId = randomAssetUrl -- Finally set the SoundId
print("Roblox Audio")
end
end
end
wait()
end
But that takes forever. I'd recommend putting some of your favorite APM tracks into a folder and picking random tracks from that folder.
