when love becomes hate

i'm beginning to develop a repulsion of music on websites, blogs and whatever that you can reach with triple w. it really is fine for music to be available on the sites, but please don't let it run on page load. i do not enjoy frantically scrolling the roller on my mouse searching for the stop button when i am running my own music on my media player. neither do i enjoy stopping the music i am listening to and find the player on the site. much less do i enjoy being frightened by 2 songs going on at the same time while i look like an idiot trying to figure out for a few seconds if they were from the same song.
but if you still insist on music on your site, it really is fine. it is afterall, your site. my worst nightmare is those who embed music and either refuse to or have no technical know-how to display the controls for optional stopping of music. in that case, i'd rather skip the site.
