I dont quite get your idea… you want the button labels to be loaded from an external txt file?

</div>

yes,because the songs are longer than the box and I want a scroll bar there, I dunno if I should load them externally or not,what do you suggest?  
I thought of using the same idea as the lyrics, but how do I make them buttons?

You could retrive the button labels from a txt file. Just as I did with the lyrics.

Create all the button in one layer.  
Make a layer for the button labels.  
Create one textfield for each button label and retrive the data from the txt file.

No, use 1 txt for all the labels.
