I think it shouldn't automatically play the songs, it's really annoying from my point of view, specially when the volume is set to 100%. If you really need to play the songs automatically, I would suggest setting the volume to 50% or somewhere near that value. You should make the player visible so that you can stop it as soon as you reach the page.
