Question
I am trying at add a Timer for the remaining time for the song playing. As of now I forced the label to see the argument as a string but produces a float that goes up from 0 to 0.00000etc .
Edited to better show my current spot in this.
I don’t know if this helps or just linking to it so I will do both

Not sure if I understand the problem. get_playback_position() does return a float, and yes, if you want to show that value on a Label you have to explicitly cast it into a string first, as with all numeric values. If you want to limit the amount of digits after the dot, use a format string, e.g. for two digits do:
music_time_label.text = "%.2f" % [$AudioStreamPlayer.get_playback_position()]
Now, in order to get the remaining time of the track, you’d only have to get the overall length of the stream with get_length() and then subtract the current position in the stream from it:
music_time_label.text = "%.2f" % [$AudioStreamPlayer.stream.get_length() - $AudioStreamPlayer.get_playback_position()]
And yes, if you’re only interested in full seconds, just cast it into a int at the end.

Hi thank you for the answers, I guess I didn’t fix the top post as well as I thought.
One of my questions was indeed time remaining, I also found out str, int for whole seconds.
I was trying to declare the time as 0:00 like a modern day player. I think I have a basic idea for the custom setup where minutes are like % 60/60 … At least that is what I got from it all.

I see why I never got the timer to work as I was putting it raw in proceses. I don’t see how I overlooked it. I needed a if statement/function for audio then display the stringed integer.
Though now I am on to my next task how to make the audiostreamplayer work with an’ array and index. I have had luck with array/index when I feed it one song. Though if I add multiple to the array it crashes or index 0s.
Correct me if I’m wrong but I need a way to always make a new player and feed the current index?
I’m not sure, I fully comprehend what you’re trying to do. Maybe post the code for what you’re trying to do? 
Sorry, i was just happy to figure out what stopped my label earlier was just idiocy. I was also relaying I was on to my new enemy the error packedstringarray or index 0.
This is not on the github as this is the test/scratch code.
I try to make it play the next song in the array via the index, kinda like a song queue. I have tried a few ways such as file new or mp3 new.
I don’t know when I last messed with this scratch in the last few days. I thought I knew how I was handling the change thourgh increasing the index. The play button for “files” is not hooked up as I was testing single file as a autoplay.

-edit 3- Worked on the non-srcatch version and fixed it up to use the musicarray and music index again. I also incorparated the song_list and song choice when slecting/clicking. It seems like each time I ask a question now I seem to come up with a answer and look foolish.
