i like the concept but it generally just breaks for me. might be because i use ublock origin

Personally? Huuuge turn-off. I've had times where the sound is just way too loud, or I have to search the page very hard to turn it off, etc. I generally do hit play when it's an option, I like having that control.

big turn off; i used to be on tumblr when that was big on both personal and roleplay sites (circa 2014) and i disliked it then, dislike it now. having music is ok tho if i can turn it on myself

i enjoy gimmicky features like this, but if you add it may be a good idea to have it paused or off by default?

interesting how polarizing it is! I'm personally a huge hater (let me listen to my own shitttt) but there are some sites where it's like essential to the atmosphere, which i can respect. thx for your responses :P

It annoys me when its looooud or when I cant find the player.. I used to have a music player on my tumblr blog and had autoplay turned off because I used to hate it. I find it endearing nowadays. I kinda like when im being forced to listen to music tho, gives me a chance to hear something ive never heard before.

i think its ok if you warn people about it in the index but generally pretty awful imo

huge yes from meeee, i love it when people's personal sites are just jam packed with parts of themselves. + the mute tab button is right there, it's nbd. i love it when personal sites are very clearly for the webmaster's enjoyment and nobody else haha

i tend to have sound off unless i'm already listening to something so usually wasted on me! definitely want a very visible play/pause button though

Don't like it at all. In general I don't like web experiences that don't give the user the choice to opt in.

not really a problem for me since pretty much all browsers have it turned off by default

I have Firefox set so it doesn't autoplay media. if some music gets through, I mute the tab. I'm thankful for the sites that start with the music toggled off

i personally prefer it off by default, as too often there's no volume slider. i dont like having to turn down my whole computer audio for one site. music in general is lovely though, when the option is there

I like it. One of my pages used to have a mp3 player feature with a whole playlist and an option to pause/skip songs but it ended up breaking so I took it down

Imo for me the concept is cool in theory, overstimulating in practice. I just prefer to have a embed plsylist on some pages and call that it

I feel like it doesn't really need to be said but if you're under 18 and following me (here or wherever) I gotta warn that I'm an adult and I create and consume adult content that's not suitable 4everyone. I'm not going to tell minors to piss off but everyone should be following me w that in mind. the old internet adage "don't like don't read" v much applies here <3
