Thread Name: Auto-Starting Your Music, on Myspace
Subject: RE: Auto-Starting Your Music, on Myspace
If you have autoplay on, I'm not going to be visiting--at least not long enough to hear anything.
I'm still on a dial-up on this computer. I want to have a choice what to hear before music just starts blaring out in fits and starts (because I'm on a dial-up). I also can't even read the text if my computer is trying to load music files the size of small planets.
It's a decision I want to make. If it feels to me like I knocked on someone's door, they opened it and shoved a boom box in my face, I will get the hell out of there so fast I'll leave little cartoon WHOOOOOSH lines. (Unfortunately, that means I stay away from Peace's page, and I'm sorry, but I can't stand it.)
Getting people to enjoy your page means giving them something they want to hear in a manner they want to hear it. It does NOT mean forcing them to hear something because YOU think they need to. I never could stand someone else trying to run my life, even a brief, small part of it.
