Sound on webpages is evil, unless I ask for it first.
- scrollbar 13y agoIs "evil" really the word?
- NateDad 13y agoHyperbole. No, not evil. But there are exactly zero times when it is ok.
- Pxtl 13y agoIt's like we're back in 1996 with a MIDI of Enter Sandman lovingly rendered by your Sound-Blaster 16's OPL chip with all the intensity of elevator music. I remember the line back in those days: "If I wanted your web site to make noise, I'd lick my finger and rub it across the screen." Oddly anachronistic since monitors don't use that kind of glass anymore.

- tjoff 13y agoNot to defend auto-play, but I can't imagine life where flash is not click-to-play. Which also handily solves most auto-playing problems in one go as well. HTML5 will make this more difficult of course...
