how to dynamically pass songs to jPlayer?

Question

I am working on a metro-looking asp.net application right now. It's a mp3 player where you choose artist (clicking on a tile), then album (same) and you pick a song from the list.

Now I want to pass the picked song's filename and location to jPlayer so that it replaces the actual played song. I know how to play one song specified in the players constructor but have no idea how to change it dinamically.

I don't need to stick to jPlayer, if You can recommend me any other player that can do above in easier way there is no problem :)

(English is not my main tounge, sorry for mistakes, I hope it is understandable).

Have you tried this?

$("#jquery_jplayer_1").jPlayer("setMedia", {mp3: url}).jPlayer("play");

As I said, I am a total noob in javascript, so I will need further help just to properly use Your code. – user1968259 Jan 10 '13 at 23:23
I created function: `function songo_kan(url) { $("#jquery_jplayer_1").jPlayer("setMedia", { mp3: url }).jPlayer("play"); }` And then created a link like this: `next` But it's not working. – user1968259 Jan 10 '13 at 23:25
Ok, I figured it out and Your answer was very helpful, big thanks mate! :) – user1968259 Jan 11 '13 at 11:12
What was the solution? Did you need to put the whole url? – Kaizen Programmer Jan 11 '13 at 14:37

Ok, here is the code that is working for me (set id of a button to 'myPlayButton'):

$("#myPlayButton").click(function () {
             $("#jquery_jplayer_1").jPlayer("setMedia", {mp3: "/Music/a.mp3"}).jPlayer("play");
         });

I have folder named 'Music' in a root catalog of the server.
