I'm a total jquery newbie and I'm just trying to find out if something
is possible.

If I have a full album worth of songs that I want to list on a web
page, can I use jquery to only embed the quicktime file after the user
clicks on a play button for that track.

Similar to Amazon's or iTunes play button per track.

The way I'm doing it right now, every song is embedded and therefore
is progressively downloading and soaking up bandwidth even though the
user may only listen to one song (or none).

Essentially, I want the song to only progressively download IF the
user clicks play.

I am NOT asking about autoplay versus click to play... instead my
question is about controlling the point in time that the file gets
embedded and starts downloading to the browser.

Any direction would be appreciated. I do have the "jquery.media.js"
plug in.

My ideal solution would be a list of song titles and a play button.
When the user clicks the play button, the quicktime play is revealed
below the title and ONLY at that moment does the file start
downloading.

Thanks.
