Tell me about it. Speakers are bad enough. I don’t think I’ll survive the shock (either from the volume or the bad taste) if I was using my headphones.

Embedded audio is definitely one of my biggest pet peeves. Considering I have headphones attached to my head about 99% of the time while I'm at the computer, it's really not cool. It always seems to be the worst possible music too. I think embedding audio and bad taste in music go hand in hand. Mike's last blog post..A little link love - Week 30

It is, isn’t it? I’m still waiting for the web wide ban on embedded audio to happen.

"Websites with embedded audio. Whoever the hell thought embedding audio on a website is a great idea has obviously never been scared shitless by sudden loud music blaring from his speakers at 3 a.m. in the morning. Not funny."

Its the WORST! and HORRIFYING!

Thomas, that sounds like a website with hiccups. Heh.

So many embedded audio h8ers out there! We should all band together and start a movement with some catchy name like the Anti-Hidden-Audio-Which-Always-Scare-The-Crap-Outta-Me movement.

GRRR…i hate embedded audio. Its all good and nice if you have fast broadband, cause the music comes on immediately, but if you have broadband that sucks or dialup, expect BLARE! then silence then BLARRRRRR! then silence… GRRRR!

You are so right about these annoyances, ruining one’s web surfing experience.

Emm, glad you liked it! :)

Techsplorer, I think forums should make that a bannable offence. Saves me the trouble of wading through the crap to find that one good post.

Geedos, a web wide ban is a fantastic idea. Where do I sign up?

Nessa, heh, I had that same experience, except it was on a bus. I literally jumped out of my seat.

I used to have the mp3 player. After shocking myself to death when the player just suddenly blasted in the office, enuff said! Lucky my boss didn’t send me a memo…
