it "plays" to me, but it *seems* like all silence on the player: downloading and playing it in k-lite codec pack's media player classic, it sounds for me instead

Same here, looks like it's playing but no audio.

curiously it play to me, even logged out, from this url https://battleofthebits.com/player/Entry/54470/

the url of the "Listen" button that appears when logged in

alright so entry pages seem to be rendering different if you are not logged in so i need to fix that
the track still works if you listen to the ohb playlist

found the switch that made logged out users get the player embedded in the page -- sample format entries still have the embedded player so i'll eventually need to switch that behavior or fix the embedded player
