I have to toss my vote in the no autoplay pot, as well.
Many users have their own media playing already or, as someone mentioned,
are in an environment where blaring music is unacceptable.
I find it extremely annoying when a site takes over. That's one reason I
can't stand going to most MySpace
Hi James,
To my mind, the user always needs to initiate it.

Hello James;
I *think* it needs to be a choice of the user - if not it'll add to the
confusion for screen readers
and also annoyance for the user waiting for the download and start of the music.

Good morning James,
If it helps, what you will find is the typical user experience on band
websites is that the audio player automatically starts within 2-3 seconds of
the site fully loading. The file size of the player and the audio file are
both small so the site isn¹t slow when being viewed

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
If I come to a site with music playing, I leave it immediately without
looking at the site. I don't know best practices, but I believe the
user needs to be in control.

Hi,
same here - I personally hate autoplay on site, I'm gone in a sec
I also think this does affect anyone - personal preference or not - people
can be caught out by this, in office environments (as mentioned before) as
well as impaired users
And though a band site might warrant the
for most users is to kill the
browser/window/tab.

Thanks for all the responses. The majority seem to pretty much agree
with my view that it would be better to have the user initiate the
music. The player I'm planning on using does have very clear controls
for playback and volume, so if the client does *insist* on auto-playback
I will definitely
IMHO, an unacceptable autoplay web site:
