Automatic Multimedia Add &autoplay=1 to the end of your Youtube URL and it'll auto-play. Be warned though, you will be hated by the masses. Auto-play multimedia isn't cool, it's annoying and means that many people will X out of your profile immediately. What's worse is when it auto-plays and then you hide the box so it can't be disabled. Not cool man. Stay cool, avoid autoplay!

I'm alive! Left severalmany years ago, sometimes I appear again like a bad smell.

I sometimes drift in and out of my tumblr.

	o_O Why even tell people how to auto play and tell them not to do it? xD

	Because they're going to get it anyway, might as well offer a lecture at the same time.

	What if the music's good and doesn't attack them? I have music playing, not a crazy a** video.

	Same deal. If I want to listen to your music, I'll push the play button. When it's forced to load (and lag my computer), I'll close out of your profile, so it's a good way to get people to not go to your profile. Music on a profile is fine, but give people a choice to play it, especially since a lot of us can't load multimedia files without seriously lagging. Websites with sound that play automatically is one of the worst things you can do regarding design techniques.

	Now that I think about it...I think project playlist is automatically set to autoplay. That is, they've already put it in my coding. xp

	I've no idea how ProjectPlaylist actually works, was thinking of Youtube when writing this really.
