HTML5 Music Player with Local Files

This is a quick HTML5 experiment. (BETA)
This application is in early beta phase, issues may occur With this web application you can play your local files in your web browser without any safety risk. The player is only fully functional in Dev Channel Chrome (12+) at the moment, because the HTML5 File API is realitvely new, and is not equally supported in all browsers. Cross-Browser will be available when it is possible.

The player can do the following (with possible bugs):

Play drag and dropped mp3 files
Creating a playlist
Highlighting the currently played song
Automatically playing the next song
simple shuffle (no image yet)

In the future: planning to do following:

Get files from subdirectories
Read ID3 tags (music details)
Offline mode
Creating a music library
(change) - Intelligent! Shuffle mode (work in progress)
Clearing playlist
Searching in library/playlist

The File API - currently at least - is not able to load the exact same data after restarting the browser, so saving the library is not possible. Plase keep this in mind. Also the player depends on the hardware. Adding huge collections could take some time, but after that the Music Player won't need too much resources.
