+# Song Loading Issue Debug Analysis
+
+## Problem Identified
+- Songs are not loading after implementing the audio service
+- Likely caused by changes in waveform initialization
+
+## Potential Issues
+
+### 1. Audio Service Initialization
+- May not be properly handling the container element
+- Could have issues with WaveSurfer creation
+
+### 2. State Management
+- Global state might not be updating correctly
+- Song/band ID synchronization issues
+
+### 3. Component Lifecycle
+- Cleanup might be interfering with initialization
+- Multiple instances could be conflicting
+
+## Debugging Steps
+
+### 1. Check Console Logs
+```bash
+# Look for these key logs:
+# "useWaveform: initializing audio service"
+# "AudioService.initialize called"
+# "Waveform ready - attempting state restoration"
+# Any error messages
+```
+
+### 2. Verify Audio Service
+- Check if audioService.initialize() is being called
+- Verify WaveSurfer instance is created successfully
+- Confirm audio file URL is correct
+
+### 3. Test State Updates
+- Check if global store is being updated with song/band IDs
+- Verify state restoration logic is working
+
+## Common Fixes
+
+### Fix 1: Container Element Issues
+```typescript
+// Ensure container is properly referenced
+if (!containerRef.current) {
+  console.error('Container ref is null');
+  return;
+}
+```
+
+### Fix 2: URL Validation
+```typescript
+// Verify URL is valid before loading
+if (!options.url || options.url === 'null') {
+  console.error('Invalid audio URL:', options.url);
+  return;
+}
+```
+
+### Fix 3: WaveSurfer Configuration
+```typescript
+// Ensure proper WaveSurfer configuration
+const ws = WaveSurfer.create({
+  container: containerRef.current,
+  waveColor: "rgba(255,255,255,0.09)",
+  progressColor: "#c8861a",
+  cursorColor: "#e8a22a",
+  barWidth: 2,
+  barRadius: 2,
+  height: 104,
+  normalize: true,
+  // Add missing configurations if needed
+  audioContext: audioService.getAudioContext(), // Reuse context
+  autoPlay: false, // Ensure we control playback
+});
+```
+
+### Fix 4: Error Handling
+```typescript
+// Add comprehensive error handling
+try {
+  await ws.load(options.url);
+  console.log('Audio loaded successfully');
+} catch (error) {
+  console.error('Failed to load audio:', error);
+  // Fallback or retry logic
+}
+```
+
+## Implementation Checklist
+
+1. [ ] Verify container ref is valid
+2. [ ] Check audio URL is correct
+3. [ ] Confirm WaveSurfer instance creation
+4. [ ] Validate audio file loading
+5. [ ] Test state restoration
+6. [ ] Check error handling
+7. [ ] Verify audio context management
+
+## Potential Rollback Plan
+
+If issues persist, consider:
+1. Reverting to previous waveform hook
+2. Gradual migration to audio service
+3. Hybrid approach (service + component instances)
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. Add detailed error logging
+2. Test with different audio files
+3. Verify network requests
+4. Check browser console for errors
+5. Test on different browsers
