The idea is that, during a battle's voting period and when requested, BotB scrapes the entries of that particular compo and plays them back sequentially, preferably via Icecast. Before queuing up the first song, BotB provides a link to the listening stream for users to tune in to. A text to speech engine could also announce the title of the entry once it's loaded it up, preferably as "Now playing [current song's title]."

Unsure if this should be limited to One Hour Battles or if this can be applied to majors as well.

Annoying thing would be intelligent universal playback of all the different formats.
