Forums _ Designers' Café _ automatic music on web pages, blogs, etc

do you think there will ever be a time where we all agree that automatic playing music on webpages is unacceptable?


of course most all of us did it, but i mean i thought maybe by now we would have established that most people don't want to hear it and automatically go turn it off the second they get there. do you think this day will ever come? or shall people continue to live in denial and think that people really wanna hear their favorite song blast loudly and obnoxiously while they are attempting to read what is on your blog/webpage/profile?

Yes it's annoying as hell. If the music player is very clearly visible and I happen to like the song, I will click play myself. I DON'T WANT TO BE FORCED INTO HEARING IT.

My CreateBlog "About Me" has said, "I hate autoplaying music" for months now, and it still holds true. You should not have autoplaying music on any kind of webpage, even a personal one; and if you do then provide a way to easily stop it.
