I'm trying to make a serverscript play music to the client?

Basically, I'm making a round based PVP game, and i'm trying to make it so when the game starts, the music changes , and in the server script, (where it plays the music) it will fire a remote event to the client, but im getting an error: FireClient() argument must be a player object. Help would be appreciated.

Here is the 1st script: (server script)

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer


--I skipped to the part where it plays the music

game.ReplicatedStorage.startMusic:FireClient()

2nd script: (Local script)

game.ReplicatedStorage.startMusic.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
    game.Workspace.Music.Lobby:Stop()
    game.Workspace.Music.Game1:Play()
end

LocalPlayer can only be accessed via the client (LocalScript). The only two solutions I'm seeing are:

A. You fire from the client to the server, do whatever you want it to do, and then back to the client to stop the music.

B. Add a wait() in the LocalScript and then Stop()/Play() those sound objects.

I'm still confused as to why you're stopping and playing music on the client when you could play them on the server.

It's not working, I'm still getting this error: 14:13:17.327 FireClient: player argument must be a Player object, Script 'ServerScriptService.MainScript' DriBowser 55 — 3y

Oops! I completely forgot that this was written on the server. I've updated my answer. efficacies 180 — 3y

Thanks for the help, I'll just do it for the server as that is easier. DriBowser 55 — 3y

The reason I'm trying to do this is because i made a menu screen and it plays the lobby music when the player is on the menu, which also plays music. DriBowser 55 — 3y
