My old music script that played Christmas songs is playing multiple songs at a time. How do I prevent / fix this?

01print('ran')
02local musicholder = script.Parent
03math.randomseed(tick());
04 
05local songList = {
06    musicholder:WaitForChild('CW'),
07    musicholder:WaitForChild('DeckDubstep'),
08    musicholder:WaitForChild('EhDe'),
09    musicholder:WaitForChild('JayKode'),
10    musicholder:WaitForChild('Ookay'),
11    musicholder:WaitForChild('SantaComes'),
12    musicholder:WaitForChild('XmasToMe'),
13    musicholder:WaitForChild('XmasBeats'),
14    --musicholder:WaitForChild('Song'),
15    --musicholder:WaitForChild('Song')
16    -- we wait for each song
17    -- add the rest of the songs to this list
18}
19local songCount = #songList -- this returns the number of items in the table above so we only change as little code as possible when adding songs
20local played = {}; --// Create a table for played songs.
21 
22while true do
23    wait(7)
24    local songNum = math.random(1, songCount) -- gets a random number in the range of the number of songs
25 
26    if played[songNum] then --// Check if the song has been played.
27        repeat songNum = math.random(songCount) until not played[songNum];
28        --// Choose a new song.
29    end;
30    played[songNum] = true; --// Record that this song has been played.
31    if #played == songCount then
32        played = {}; --// If all of them have been played, reset the table.
33    end;
34 
35    print(songNum)
36    songList[songNum]:Play() -- we access the sound in the table and play it
37    songList[songNum].Ended:Wait() -- we wait until the song has finished then play anther song
38end

.Ended is really spooky and doesn't work the way it should on the server. You can either move the script to the client or make a table with the lengths of the sounds, like so:

1local songs = {songA, songB, songC}
2local songLengths = {120.5, 130, 100}
3 
4songs[songNum]:Play()
5wait(songLengths[songNum])
6songs[songNum]:Stop()

alright thanks but the issue i see with this is that the sound lengths are rounded and are very long decimals. ex. 34.41321321312312321321312312324567576465425234134143214324234234324234 Subaqueously 11 — 7y
