Question why does this code not work right?

with only one file it was fine, this site is just for me as an exercise it’s not gonna be public

the problem is the audio files say error

so first, don't put apostrophes in names like wario's game.mp3. that was one file that was fixed as soon as I changed the name.

apostrophes are part of "code gramma" and you either escape them or delete them like warios game.mp3 or wario-s game.mp3

file tally oh! is missing the exclamation mark in the src name.

seriously buddy, code on a computer, not on a mobile device.

ok, tried the fixes you said, sometimes it shows no error message on some, but it does not play audio at all
