Question How do you make mp3 preload sequentially?

I need to embed some MP3 files into my website ( http://www.rpwsj.com : podcasts/talk shows). I would like to have them preloaded for performance reasons, but it needs to be done sequentially not all at once to be nice to the user's bandwidth.

What I need is to be able to start preloading the next immediately after the previous one has completed. How can I determine when one embedded MP3 has finished downloading so that I can have the page start the next one?

Is there some other way of doing this?

I think JavaScript can do this...

Take a look into the function complete.

document.image.complete;

It's not auto complete or anything, but I can't find any tutorials on it for you... If you're interested in learning JS, the JavaScript Bible is awesome. Comes with a PDF version of the book too so you can search for things on your computer without having to turn pages.
