Ah, Nostalgia!

My apologies!!  The auto play function is a browser setting, not in the embed code.  I tried to put all these behind a cut so it wouldn't do that when you visited your friends lists, but LJ screwed that up the first time.  Looks like this time it worked.

I found the most awesome website! It has audio uploads of really old children's records! Each file is merely a sample of the entire album (trying to get you to purchase the whole copy from the owner) but some of them are quite entertaining! Here are a couple of my favorites: 

Manners Can Be Fun:

What Makes A Good American?:

What Are Stars?:

Wow! When I hit my Friends page, the three clips all started playing at the same time.

At first I thought today's xkcd had a soundtrack, until I scrolled down, saw these, and paused each one.

I don't know if there's a way to make them not start playing automatically? I'm using Firefox, if that makes any difference.

The clips look like they will be much fun, once I get over the shock and listen to them one at a time. :-)

They did the same for me. I just stopped them all, rewound them then played them one at a time. Having all three going at once though was kinda weird and fun. :-)

femetal and I use Safari and had the same thing happen. In fact, the morass of all three files playing simultaneously became what I woke up to this morning, and femetal gets up before I do and loads her f-list before I usually get up. Needless to say this was startling to both of us, and more than a bit unpleasant.

Sorry about that, it's a browser setting and I had hoped that I would be the only one to have left my default browser settings to "play automatically on page load". I tried to put them behind a cut but LJ fucked that one up too.

I found it was a browser setting that made them play automatically, because they did that to me too. But the coding to embed these files doesn't have any instructions for when to play. It's somewhere in your browser settings :-(

All fixed. Thank you so much! Also, I thought these were super neat, and worth the unexpected startlement. Ah, nostalgia indeed.

I like the last one best. I'm sad it cut out early on. "Atom Juice"! *big grin*

Yeah, I knew of a few people who would love that! You included :-D
