        _global.songfile = [];
        _global.lyrics = [];
        for (var i = 0; i<playlist.firstChild.childNodes.length; i++) {
        _global.songname* = playlist.firstChild.childNodes*.attributes.name;
        _global.songband* = playlist.firstChild.childNodes*.attributes.band;

        _root["but"+i]._x = 5;
        _root["but"+i]._y = 40 + (i*15);
        _root["but"+i].but_txt.text = songname*;
        if (i >= 25){
            _root["but"+i]._x = 160
            _root["but"+i]._y = -5 + (i*15);
        }
        attachMovie("lyrics","lyricbut"+i,i+81);
        eval("lyricbut"+i).id=i;
        _root["lyricbut"+i]._x = 390;
        _root["lyricbut"+i]._y = 40 + (i*15);
        
        attachMovie("download","downloadbut"+i,i+112);
        eval("downloadbut"+i).id=i;
        _root["downloadbut"+i]._x = 455;
        _root["downloadbut"+i]._y = 40 + (i*15);
        
        trace(_global.lyrics*)

        
        _root["but"+i].onRelease = function(){
            clearInterval(timeInterval);
            _root.timeDisplay_txt.text = "00:00/00:00";
            _root.sound_mc.songStarter(songfile[this.id]);
        }
        
        _root["lyricbut"+i].onRelease = function(){
            getURL(_global.lyrics*.info ,_blank)
        
        }
