Anyone else getting annoyed with the sites with music?

I join you in your frustration! I listen to my own music or watch tv while I'm surfing. I don't want random, unexpected music popping up while I'm already listening to something. People don't seem to think about things like that when they stick music up on their site. Especially when there's no option to turn it off.

Sometimes it startles me when I come across one with music. I check out my pc to see if I have something else running that I forgot about. I feel that if they have music that they would like to invite you to listen to, not a problem. It is a problem when it blares out at you.

I got startled when some sites have music.It got me scared suddenly but I got used to it as long as it will not slow down my internet connection.

No you are not alone in this. I hate when sites have music that auto plays when I go to it. Now I normally have my speakers off because of this. I don't want to hear their stuff because most of the time it's either not something I like or it's a poor quality one. It also can really make the page open slow. Thankfully I don't have dial up anymore but some people don't think on how much it takes to load up a page like that. Let alone the bandwidth which if they are on a free host then that will eat up quick.

I also hate sites with music. I always listen to music when I am at the computer, and the music from the sites disturbs me a lot.

Different viewpoint here. Some of us, like me, are musicians. My site's player does have an off switch, but it is supposed to be part of the site, and part of the material, in my case. It actually used to be etiquette not to put music on a site, with a coy bit of reasoning that some people might get sprung at work. Even so, I can't stand the lousy muzak patches on some sites myself. They're just excruciatingly lousy.

I don't like sites with music.They cant thrust music on you.It depends on your mood and choice.

I totally agree! It's very annyoing especially when you're listening to something you really like, then go onto a site with its own music, I sometimes get confused with it too and think that my media player's gone wonky. It would be much better to be able to choose whether we listen to it or not. I don't think it's too bad if it's fairly quiet music and it can be ignored, but when it suddenly blasts away that's not good at all. :)

Your not alone Hockeygal4ever! I find it very annoying and my speakers agree.LOL! My music is on when I'm on mylot and Thats about it. Take Care.

this has only recently happened to me a couple of times. You are right it comes as a bit of a shock, cant really see the point of it, it seems to draw attention away from what im going on the site for and if ive inadvertantly left the volume up, it gives the rest of the family a shock too. Please stop doing it, lol

I am sure you are the only person who gets irritated with music....there are lot of sites and while surfing the sites which attract most of attention is the site which have some or the other embedded music

I also hate it. It makes my computer unsually slow. My computer is already slow and the loading of the pop up player makes it more slower, I couldn't even close it as it has to load all first before I can close the site.

I came across this last night when I went to check somebody's profile. My computer has a security camera with sound connected to it, so that I will hear if anybody is approaching my house. I almost jumped out of my skin when I heard the music as I thought somebody was outside my door with a radio. I don't like it and I would never impose my music on anybody.

Yes its really annoying, especially when you are startled not expecting it. There are some sites though that has an option where you can set it so that music will not start unless the play button is hit. I think that's wise so that people can choose to listen to the music in the site or not. Unfortunately I don't think a lot of people use that or a lot of people are aware of it, besides the only site I know that has that option is myspace. Another thing is the testimonials that incorporate music too some does not have any control and if there are several testimonials that contains music the music all play together and there you got an earsore (corruption of eyesore).

The only thing that bothers me about sites with music is the type of music that they play. Some kinds of music I do not mind listening to while surfing the net. I think people are getting carried away with what they put on their sites, both music, videos or pictures. You should be given an option to listen to it or not listen to it.

i don like site with background music first of all they slow down d loadin time

I find it annoying, but then I've only noticed it a couple of times. Part of it is the speakers on my computer aren't always turned on, and also one of my computers doesn't seem to have the plug-in for the media player that's used.

I kind of enjoy music in websites as long as they're not rock and roll. I prefer soft ones though. It's better to hear. Although I agree with you when it interrupts something that you;re doing.

I like the sites with music. There is the option to turn it off if you don't wantto listlen to it (in most cases). If you don't like the music turn your volume down or just stop the music from playing.

Nice discussion.The music dat pop out are just disturbing.They interrupt when v really do some important job.some sites if v open also create some nuisance...
