Yes you could, and you would expect the user to have the plugin.

My personal experience is that when you want to use songs online, use
flash, and save yourself a lot of trouble. You'll need to check for the
plugin once and you can do a lot niftier interfaces, too (drag and drop).
And, yes, you _can_ make it maintainable by using XML files, too.
