On Android (and most probably the rest of mobile devices) audio can't be play from the Audio object unless it's a result of a direct user touch event. Similar to how popup blocking works. As a result, the phone doesn't play anything.
Even though it seems the user tapping a track should lead to playing that track as a direct action, the promise used in $http in API.getTrack() disconnects the callback from the user touch action.
A workaround is to start playing as the user taps, and change the src once we get the URL for the track.
