Sorry about the song choice, it's the only mp3 I had on hand at the time

browse_rsc() is acting as expected. If I change songs the file name you chose changes size. I submit that your embedded object HTML is the problem, since nothing plays at all for me. The method you're using to try to play the file may simply have some inherent limitations.
