Answer 1

It might be to do with timing. Perhaps the length of the song is too long for the time it takes to figure out the duration, or something similar. You could test that theory with a song that's like 1 minute long, see if it still shows NaN

Answer 2

Here is a list of audio events.

I'm sure one of them will help solve your problem.

Maybe loadeddata or loadedmetadata

Answer 3

Yes you're somewhat right. So it turns out the reason is because it the sound was still loading into the project and because of this it's longer length it takes abit longer for it to be added, so it reads before it's added and finds nothing. So I just have to make sure js reads the code after its loaded in, I already have windows.onload for the whole code which I assume would work but I'll have to bring another approach more specific to the element audio rather than just window.onload...
