Why not offer the text links, but also offer a separate box
for each song?  Right now there's only two songs, so it's
not like it'll be an overwhelming amount for the user to
see.

Otherwise look for something that displays what song is
being played.  There's no visual feedback and I have no way
of knowing that there's a "next" track. 
Especially if I don't use online players that much.

You might want to review the various parameters at h
ttp://www.w3schools.com/media/media_playerref.asp.  I
suspect there's  viewing mode you can adjust to show
different properties.

Keep the links somewhere, just in case someone has a setup
that will not play these files.
