Looks really cool. Unfortunately the play buttons do nothing. I'm assuming this is because the files are mp3, and I'm on Ubuntu, which doesn't support mp3s in <audio> tags in either Firefox or Chromium :( But maybe you could use MP3.js to add support? https://github.com/devongovett/mp3.js

Edit: Also, even without that, it would be nice if this detected lack of MP3 support and produced a message of some kind instead of the play buttons simply doing nothing.

Second edit: Yeah, this actually looks totally awesome. I hate that I'm missing out.

Sorry it isn't working. You are correct, it is the problem is the mp3 support. Getting the audio to play cross browser hasn't been trivial. We'll look into mp3.js.
