currentSong.play is not a function

On the Making the UI work section, I keep getting currentsong.play is not a function, this happens when I click on the play AND next but, but not the stop button, it seems to work okay, but they all appear to be identical (I only changed values). I have no idea what's up and I've look at it for so long now that it might as well be gibberish.

Can anyone help?

var playlist = new Playlist();

var Broken = new Song("Walk", "Pantera", "4:33");
var Aenima = new Song("Aenima", "Tool", "6:33");

playlist.add(Broken);
playlist.add(Aenima);

var PlaylistElement = document.getElementById("playlist");

playlist.renderInElement(PlaylistElement);

var playButton = document.getElementById("play");
playButton.onclick = function() {
  playlist.play();
  playlist.renderInElement(PlaylistElement);
}

var nextButton = document.getElementById("next");
nextButton.onclick = function() {
  playlist.next();
  playlist.renderInElement(PlaylistElement);
}

var stopButton = document.getElementById("stop");
stopButton.onclick = function() {
  playlist.stop();
  playlist.renderInElement(PlaylistElement);
}

Are there any functions called play or next in the Playlist class?

We'd really need to see the code for the other classes (I think the problem is in the Song class) to help out.
