register/login is way morethan i need here; a simple cookie with the stored
preference will do. If they don't choose a preferred player, they don't get
the player. Simple as that.

...or require them to register/login, which would be more reliable since you
can store/retrieve the prefs server-side using sessions. Maybe you already
have an existing login process, which would make it that much easier to
implement.
