For Mac users out there, open the Terminal and type: "sudo pico /etc/hosts" Then add "0.0.0.0 lads.myspace.com" at the bottom and save the file. BAM. Done. Fantastic. I love you.

I was searching for an answer to why my myspace player didnt work and stumbed upon this gem! Like you said, in notepad I opened c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts and did the opposite of your guidance. I edited out all the lines that included "myspace" and saved it. Presto! My player plays now! :-D Thank you!!! :-D Thank you Andy!!! I was searching for an answer to why my myspace player didnt work and stumbed upon this gem!

Since most content that is automatically triggered is flash based ... use the plugin flashblock. It's running smoothly on my firefox and I can decide which content to activate. Hope this helps! Cheers, Antill Hi Andy,

Then I cleared my myspace cookies and reseleted the option and autoplay is now properly disabled. (to delete cookies in firefox: tools > options > privacy > show cookies, search for myspace, delete everything.)
