Html5 Audio with JavaScript won't work any browser other than chrome

Basically on button press I want to be able to switch the current track to another. This works finally in Chrome but not in any other browser?

audio is a HTML5 tag, and it is not supported all around. Please read this article about usage and support: http://html5doctor.com/html5-audio-the-state-of-play/[^]

Is there any workarounds you know of?? if it can't use the html5 player
