I do not want autoplay ANYTHING — no autoplay music, no autoplay videos, no autoply of someone talking to me — just don’t do it. Give me the option to listen or view, let it be my choice. Because when I hit a site like that, I leave immediately and I do not come back.

Oh yeah, auto-playing ads, have the same effect for me to, the website gets closed and I usually never visit it again

Very true and speaking from experience of having a website for my own music, I still give the visitor the option to play the music and not ram it down their throats

If I am on their website to hear their stuff then that is fine, I will push a play button since that is what I am there to do.

I so agree with you. auto-playing anything is a pet peeve of mine. I am an avid traffic exchange user sometimes surfing around 5 or 6 sites at a time and when a couple of them have any auto-playing music/ads it drives me nuts.

I live in the country and the Internet is not that fast so when you have 5 sites trying to load audio at the same time it really does slow the connection and it is intrusive plus I can’t listen to five things at the same time. I like to compare this to loud commercials.

You know when you are sitting there and all of a sudden the local car dealer screams at you that they have everything on sale Sale SALE this weekend? Yeah I hate that and it seems that every commercial is louder than the show you are watching, not just car dealers although they seem to be the worst.

I think there’s only one type of site that can justify autoplay music, and that would be a relatively unknown musician’s site. They would want you to hear their stuff and then you can make up your mind whether you like it or not.

Other than that it’s just a nuisance.

That makes complete sense Karen! Always should give people the option… don’t assume they like or want to listen to what you listen to.

Music makes a emotional connection with people and if used correctly can be a powerful tool to put people in the right mindset. This is why I’m considering adding it as “an option”

Thanks again… love to hear peoples opinion on stuff like this!
