Are there any players available that don't automatically start playing when the profile is loaded?  I may want to put a song on my About Me page, but I don't want to annoy everyone with autoplay.

Exactly, I don't want to put people through that.  It's pretty annoying.  Even though I don't really listen to Coldplay, Lemon's page wasn't that bad because at least the song wasn't some extreme death metal or something like that.

I suggested having music on profiles at GS as I thought and still do that music from games would be great on profiles.  The thread was quickly locked by a mod and I was told to go to My Space.

It would be good if we could but I don't think it'll happen, copyright after all.

I was listening to something, then I had it paused for a sec. I looked up somebody's Mini Bio, and then this rediculously loud rap music started blaring. Sounded like total shit, and I was also startled like hell. That was just wrong.

Not doing that again:P

Can you embed it into different websites? Pretty sure that is of all the songs you have listened to, though. Some might want specific songs only. I would add one to my profile if it did not have auto play.

If you want to listen to music just play iTunes in the background. Also, having music on the page makes it load slower for me, and wouldn't that just be a step back.

It can be VERY irritating if it's on AUTO-PLAY. At least make it so you HAVE TO push a button to listen.

Same thing goes for mini-bios.

Thats why it is an option, you don't have to add a music player to your page.

There should be an option on the site to make it auto or not. At  least it do in playlist.com.

I wouldn't have cared if the music wasn't on auto-play, but alas, it is....
