How to best embed/present audio tracks...

[BG Design]

I'm trying to fix a few bugs that came up when I embedded 10 MP3 samples of my wife's harp playing on the following site, www.harppiano.com/samples.html. IE 8 and Chrome both have issues with it, Chrome perhaps the worse for playing all 10 at once!

Is there a better way to present the 10 samples to listeners, that is at least more cross-browser friendly?

1. Bach’s Prelude in C

<embed src="soundclips/Bailey'sFancy-clip.mp3" width="50" height="15" autostart="false" />

Since you have embedded 10 independent clips, they can all be turned on at once, either by the browser (as in Chrome) or by the viewer. What a racket!
Your best bet is to get a Flash audio player with a playlist. Very cross browser friendly and a playlist eliminates the multi play situation.
Google "Flash audio players" for more info:

I've used a couple of the players from http://www.premiumbeat.com/flash_resources/free_flash_music_player/ - very nice, clean designs.

idk because I'm just an amatuer, but using a m3u playlist might be simpler.

basically just make a .txt file and type the file names like this,

file/location/soundfile01.mp3
file/location/soundfile02.mp3

and after you have saved it rename the extention to .m3u

When you want to use it you can then embed it where you would usally put the location of your mp3 file.

I hope this may help you. it's basic but will work here's a link to mine that I made.

How much testing have you done.. different Operating Systems, default media players etc.
