so, there's no easy way to build an html5 playlist...

the only way i can do this that i actually like is to build my own java script directly into the document, utilizing the built-in functionality, but i'm not sure how well i'm going to like this. i don't want to cite external routines, i don't want to put in an existing player, etc. what if they move the document? i mean, look at what's coming up with my own site.

i don't want to stream the audio from the cloud - they just bought it, they have it in high quality in front of them. that's the point.

and, i don't want to enforce a plugin. i'll give you an m3u file instead as that's what i was trying to actually do. i use foobar. maybe you like something else.

and, then i kind of thought it through and it seemed silly, because buying the audio means you'll do what you will with it, and that's the point.

but, i still want a little front end.

i should be able to do this by just creating a couple of buttons right in the document. you'll need javascript on, unfortunately. it won't be pretty. but it'll work.
