I need a sample code for click to play music I am getting all of my mp3 files from my system folder and I would like to play that pieces of music.

My code like this

<a href="mp3folder/mp3name.mp3">mp3name</a>
<a href="mp3folder/mp3name1.mp3">mp3name1</a>
<a href="mp3folder/mp3name2.mp3">mp3name2</a>
<a href="mp3folder/mp3name3.mp3">mp3name3</a>

How I should go about this using JavaScript?

You can use audio tag to play the audio, and if you want to pause one audio if another audio file is played here is a simple javascript code

check what are the elements playing right now and pause the audio which is currently playing.

Read more about audio tag from MDN

document.addEventListener('play', function(element){
    var audios = document.getElementsByTagName('audio');

    for(var i = 0, len = audios.length; i < len; i++){

        if(audios[i] != element.target){
            audios[i].pause();
        }
    }

}, true);


document.addEventListener('play', function(element){
    var audios = document.getElementsByTagName('audio');
    
    for(var i = 0, len = audios.length; i < len; i++){
        
        if(audios[i] != element.target){
         // console.log("audio paused");
            audios[i].pause();
        }
    }
  
}, true);

You can use embed tag to play audio files

html

<embed src="mp3folder/mp3name.mp3" autostart="false" id="mp3name" enablejavascript="yes">

javascript

var mp3name = document.getElementById("mp3name");
mp3name.play();
