And I'm looking for a way to disable the feature in services like MySpace. If you know a good way, please let me know. I hate truly hate autoplayed media (songs, videos, etc.).

The autoplay is definitely an OPTION on Sonific, and one that I, for one, don't use very often - see my blog on www.gerdleonhard.net. I would advise anyone using SongSpots to consider their audience before they go for the autoplay feature, and when in doubt, leave it 'off'. This can very easily be set in all of our songspots -- just use the EDIT button on any of your SongSpots. I do think, however, that someone will offer some browser extensions for apps like Sonific SongSpots, soon - and they will regulate your preferences in a much nicer way than just on or off.

It is annoying! I had a quick look at the Sonorific site and it looks like there’s no way to disable the autoplay feature :(

Try this <a href="http://mediafuturist.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow">sonific splog</a>. You can press pause to turn it off, but as soon as you go to their about page it starts up again. It's unbelievably irritating. You want an example of autoplay on wp.com? Try this sonific splog. You can press pause to turn it off, but as soon as you go to their about page it starts up again.
