Peevity-Peeve

I wish so much that people who make websites, or who tart up their myspace pages (and $deity knows they're the foremost offenders in this case) would just refrain from inserting music into their pages.

Downloading isn't an issue, not since PreZ just got Verizon to up our FiOS bandwidth to 30Mbps... it's just that sometimes I'm browsing late at night, whilst listening to some music or playing a movie softly, and then all of a sudden there's this other obnoxious noise overlapping what I'm listening too, often MUCH louder than what I've already got on. With a sleeping husband and baby, I don't really need someone else's crappy loud music tastes forced on me at 3.14am.

So just don't, okay?

I wish it were possible to have your OWN music on your page not auto-play. I wouldn't mind having music on the page, if you had to go press the Play button to start it.

Yeah, the Auto-Play function is the worst. I prefer a kind of opt-in approach, not an opt-out one.

I think some of the autoplays only activate in firefox but not IE. I've loaded pages in IE without all the songs starting up, where as in firefox it all loads. I've also got a couple of myspace pages that won't load in firefox because of crappy css/html. Pain in the ass because firefox has been my main browser for two years thanks to your influence.
