The error is not in the script you have above. It is in LoadingScript on line 508

kingdom; that's actually a CoreScript. It's not a "real" error.

There are two major flaws in this code. You are unnecessarily recreating the RandMusic function every loop. That's fixed by simply moving it outside of the while loop.

The inner for loop is completely unnecessary. All it does it play 1 random song for each song in the list, which probably isn't desired:

music = script:GetChildren()

function RandMusic()
	math.randomseed(tick()*math.random()) --This actually causes this code to be *less* random, as the generated is seeded too often. You only need to call this line *once*, so I suggest moving this outside of this function.
	local MusicRandom = music[math.random(1, #music)]
	if MusicRandom then
		print('play')
		MusicRandom:Play()
		wait(MusicRandom.TimeLength)
	end
end

while true do
wait(1)
RandMusic()
end

TimeLength may be 0, then. Is this a LocalScript?
