Click() doesn't work like normal verbs, so you can't use the arguments in the same way. You'll need to prompt the player for a file using input(...) as sound|null.

    boomBox
        icon = 'Boom Box.dmi'
        icon_state = "Boom Box"
        Click()
            alert("You will be able to play your own kind of music (Note: You can only play .mid's, .midi's, and .wav's.)")
            switch(alert("What do you wish to do?","Play Music","Stop Music"))
                if("Play Music")
                    var/S = input("What song do you wish to play?") as null|sound
                    view(30) << sound(S,1)
                    view(30) << "[usr] has played a song."
                if("Stop Music")
                    view(30) << sound(null)
                    view(30) << "[usr] has stop the music"


That should work. Knowing inout commands is vital for Click() procs. This is basically what the last post says, except coded for you.
