So the way that i would go about doing this and infact im working on something similar just whit sound files to were i need to upload muiltpul ones on to a data base and display them. So the way im doing this is through noode js wich is a server side language that i can store onto a data base. Im then using a file up loader with a middle wear called multer that is downloaded through npm. Im then using that to upload a array of different sound files paths into a tag that will then loop through the sound files and display all of them on the page. Now if you need help understanding what im talking about if you never heard of it ect or just need some one to help you through it let me know and we can jump on skype and hope this helps out a bit.

For a better example of what im talking about check out my repo for my project im working on https://github.com/gwartney21/sound_Board

Also, if you are not needing a server side language you could use ajax also i would message piece-digital on skype he will also be able to help you out he has a few other solutions he might be able to provide you once you give him a bit more information on how you are currently going about the project requirements.
