All I ask is that those who put music on pages do it in such a way that the the viewer has a choice before it just starts up. This laptop has a mute button but most don't. Web pages with embedded MIDI noise are the single biggest reason I reach for that button!
No insult to music-lovers intended, just please make peace and quiet the default.

All I ask is that those who put music on pages do it in such a way that the the viewer has a choice before it just starts up. I know, you are right, it can be annoying, even to those of us who love music. I keep my speakers turned down for that reason. If it is something I want to hear, I turn them up. :-)
