I'm not keen on MySpace music starting automatically because I like to choose which tracks I wish to learn to and do not like to have it imposed on me.

If I had a MySpace music site, I would turn off autoplay and leave it to the site visitors to choose what they want to listen to.

I used to have midi files autoplay on my own website but I have gradually been removing them because I know many people find it irritating. If you want to put background music on a website, that's fine. But please leave site visitors the choice of whether to turn it on or off. At the end of the day, it is simply good manners.

No, Lizzie, I think your attitude is misguided. Also when people disagree with you, have courtesy to respect that. Everyone who has disagreed with you in this thread has explained their reasons for disagreeing, yet the tone of some of their replies seems to imply that they are idiots.

Having autoplay turned off still gives site visitors the choice of turning the music on.
