Sorry, I don't understand all this 'impose' and 'control' 'run my life' kind of thing going on here.

It's simply a music site, where you visit people's pages to listen to their music, read and find out about them, maybe watch some videos, find paths to other musicians too.

What I see here is crossness from people who can't access myspace properly. I'm sorry that some of you can't. I can't access Youtube for most of the day, and **nothing** I do will alter that. If I try to access ANY Tripod site, my computer locks up because of their adverts, sometimes my computer locks up from the adverts on Myspace or many other sites, and I'm on Broadband! Facebook sends my computer (and my brain) absolutely barmy, slowing it down beyond belief and again, locking it up.

Musicians aren't trying to 'control' me, or you, they are simply putting their music in the shop window, one track at a time, and saying, "Here we are, we hope you like it.".....nothing more.

If you want to have 13 pages up at once, or whatever, well, that's entirely your choice and nothing to do with Myspace or any other site, you can't expect sites to take that into consideration. Each internet site is different.

If you read my original post, I was saying that there are many people out there who'll switch a page on, then think the music player isn't working, because it's not playing, never realising that they have to start it themselves, and yes, it does happen, believe you me. Potential customers lost? Very possibly.

When people disagree with me, I have the right to disagree back, Tootler, so please, with all respect, don't tell me how to write. Thank you. I took umbridge at a somewhat personal post, for which Jeri has now apologised, and I accept her apology.

Someone mentioned earlier on that they have to wait ages for my page to load as I've so many videos on it. Fair enough. But some things are worth waiting for, and believe you me, I've some darned great musicians on my page, and nope, I don't want to lose any of their videos. So if you want to see them, then you have to wait, depending on what type of computer you have. My son's one brings the page up instantly, far faster than mine. He has no delay problems with it at all.

Myspace music is just that. Music. It's the part of Myspace where the Musicians go, so...there's er...going to be music playing.

It would be great to see some more celebration going on in here rather than moaning.

We live in such a wonderful age of technology, we have so much access to so many things...and to be able to hear a whole wide world of music is just the bestest thing! I don't want silence. I want Salsa Celtica beating that path to my door, whilst I samba along with them!
I want The Oysterband to get me Singing in Seconds...and I'll even hiccup my way through Youtube during the day and evening, because despite the agonising wait I can generally get the gist of things through the coughs and splutters...As I said, it drives me nuts, but I realise the importance of it, the way it gets many messages out, so much music out..and I'll continue to support it, and use it whenever I can, despite the major problems I have with it, because I think the musicians are worth every single moment of the difficulties I encounter.

If people want to choose which tracks to listen to, then turn OFF the button and decide. But I think to expect musicians to hide their wares behind a closed curtain, just so you can decide whether to peek in the window, or not, and feel that you're not being 'imposed' upon is a terrible idea.

SO MUCH beautiful, wondrous, powerful music and musicians I've discovered from those magical notes that hit my ears instantly, and within seconds, it's Love At First Sound going on..

I guess I *enjoy* hearing all the music, tremendously, I've an absolute passion about it, but hell, I LOVE looking in shop windows and I love musicians wanting to bring me their music.

Can't get enough of it!
