Why is PreloadAsync yielding infinitly?

Whenever I run my music script, the PreloadAsync() yields infinitly. No errors showed up, but a Print() function I set up never fires and the music doesn't play. (The original script had about 8 songs, but I had to shorten it to make it fit.)

01content = game:GetService("ContentProvider")
02music = {"rbxassetid://1581067887","rbxassetid://553600220"}
03content:PreloadAsync(music)
04while true do
05    local pick = math.random(1,table.getn(music))
06    local song = music[pick]   
07    script.Music.SoundId = song
08    script.Music:Play()
09    print("Music Playing")
10    wait(script.Music.TimeLength)
11end

Turns out that the input in to the PreloadAsync is a table of the actual objects, not the asset ids.
