You know what its like: You click over to an interestingly titled blog from a friend’s sidebar, while listening to an equally interesting sermon mp3 or other audio goodie. Then, blang-o, you get an earful of “Secret Garden” or Audio Garden, or whatever that previously interesting person’s blog has spinning in a hidden free player at the bottom of their template.
Oh PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE…save me some frantic scrolling and clicking….
TURN OFF the auto play on the blinking music player.
Thank you. If you do so, I will return to your blog. I might even look at your favorite tunes.

That is rather irritating to me, too, so I keep my speakers off most of the time.
That is what I am saying!!!! It is ANNOYING! Especially when you find out they listen to rock and roll from like death metal days!
I keep my speakers off, too…
Oh, I hate it when that happens. There are blogs I would otherwise read that I only rarely dare to visit because of this scourge.
LOL – I’m so illiterate I wouldn’t have a clue how to install a free player on my blog!
