Disabling music on other's sites Options

[rawk sauce]

**I don't think this would be in any archives because I'm not actually asking about a script, but the settings on my computer.

How do I turn off hearing other people's Xanga music? I don't want to hear it because, number one, I'm always listening to my own music when I'm online, and other people's will screw it up. Also, my computer is slow, so the music loading either takes forever or freezes everything. Plus most people's music really sucks.

I know you can press "stop" but I don't always want to do that because that action stops everything on the page, including animations, etc. I'm using Internet Explorer with Windows XP.

I've already tried Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > and unclicked "Play sounds in web pages" (screen shot) and that failed miserably.

This is not really that important, just a big annoyance to me, and maybe there's nothing I can do about it, but I figured I'd ask.

well, if you can't find any other solution, you could just wait until all of the animation or whatever is done loading and then click stop. i really don't think is a way. but i am not sure.

After the page is done loading, just click the red X icon (stop icon) next to the refresh icon on the IE icons toolbar.

you could probably change internet explorers... like hacking it with a hex editor....
