If you are storing metadata in a tag use data attributes eg    lt li id  song1  data-value  song1 ogg  gt  lt button onclick  updateSource    gt Item1 lt  button gt  lt  li gt    Now use the attribute to get the name of the song  var audio   document getElementById  audio    audio src  audio ogg     document getElementById  song1   getAttribute  data-value    audio load

with jQuery        playerSource   attr  src    new src         var audio       player               audio 0  pause        audio 0  load     suspends and restores all audio element      if  isAutoplay           audio 0  play

Here is how I did it using React and CJSX  Coffee JSX  based on Vitim us solution  Using componentWillReceiveProps I was able to detect every property changes  Then I just check whether the url has changed between the future props and the current one  And voil      propTypes       element  React PropTypes shape            version  React PropTypes number          params               React PropTypes shape                   url  React PropTypes string isRequired                  filename  React PropTypes string isRequired                  title  React PropTypes string isRequired                  ext  React PropTypes string isRequired                isRequired         isRequired  componentWillReceiveProps   nextProps  - gt      element   ReactDOM findDOMNode this      audio   element querySelector  audio       source   audio querySelector  source          When the url changes  we refresh the component manually so it reloads the loaded file     if nextProps element params  filename  and     nextProps element params url isnt  props element params url         source src   nextProps element params url         audio load     I had to do it this way  because even a change of state or a force redraw didn t work
