Help with JukeBox Script Options

[voltigeur]

Hey guys, I was wondering if someone could help me figure out the problem with my (i ripped part of it from createblog.com.. so it isn't quite mine) script.

You see, the main issue I'm facing right now is that the player simply wouldn't shuffle and play the next song on the list (as it should). It would just constantly repeat the same song that plays right at the start whenever the page loads up.

I would really appreciate it if someone could help me out with this!

edit: I removed the forms section cause I don't want a dropdown list to show up on my blog.

Here's the script:
