I can see why you were racking your brain, it was not easy to spot! Your call to the play() and stop() functions were missing the parentheses.

playlist.js

Playlist.prototype.play = function() {
  var currentSong = this.songs[this.nowPlayingIndex];
  currentSong.play();
};

Playlist.prototype.stop = function(){
  var currentSong = this.songs[this.nowPlayingIndex];
  currentSong.stop();
};
