Hello @achandra,

I would love to help bust, just like last time, it’s a bit of a challenge. 🙂 Mainly because:

1. I can’t reproduce the error, it works for me in Safari on macOS.

2. You say the problem only appears sometimes. Those kinds of issues are the hardest to debug. (You’ll want a bug to be reproducible.)

3. The code samples you have is relatively complex and contains some stuff that makes little sense, like importing mp3 files and try parsing them as JavaScript (`<script src="The Light of Day.mp3"></script>`).

Try authoring a sketch that does nothing more than loading and playing an mp3 file. Does the same problem appear in that sketch?
