*sigh*.
i had only previously tested in firefox, and everything worked perfectly. so, i was a little surprised to realize that flac wasn't playing back on the chromebook.
it turns out i dropped a ' in the controls, and i did it consistently - hundreds of times.
so, i have to go back and fix everything.
that should take the rest of the night.
to be clear: it's very minor. but i have to do it.
it will give me some time to listen, and there's maybe more going on this month than i thought, after all.
