The only thing I can think of is that the Chrome and Opera browsers don't like to preload all of those 32 audio tracks at the same time and instead freeze up after attempting to preload the first six players.

One thing you could try is to prevent the preloading, which means that the audio file would only start to load when the Play button is clicked.

Your current audio tag looks like this: <audio controls>
To prevent preloading, you would change it to: <audio controls preload="none">

Checking on Firefox now that I'm home, you may want to take a look at your positioning as well because all the music players are sitting right on the left edge of the browser which doesn't look very good.

It's "almost" done lol. Check your page again, in Firefox about half way down the page starting with "Dr. Hook - Cooky and Lila" the text is way to the left yet while the players are now centered.

I would also suggest putting a little space between the paragraph at the top and the start of the players as well as putting a little space between each of the players so they are not one right on top of the other. Makes it much easier for your users to know what song they are really playing :)

Put a little space between the last player and the bottom of the page as well so it's not sitting right at the edge of the bottom of the page. Just helps it look nicer.

Otherwise it's definitely getting there! :)
