Look, I'm new to this, so not quite sure to whom I should address this complaint, but PLEASE just give up on the idea of playing music when people log on. It's infuriating and adds nothing at all to your site.

Does it?! Suddenly the advantages of no sound card are apparent.

It is a pointless and irritating embellishment, I agree too.
Turn up the signal... wipe out the noise

It's on the WOS homepage not the boards. Maybe you have your soundcard switched off? Or your finely-tuned reflexes can get off the homepage before it starts (it was only from the board that I learned how 'Smo...' carried on!)

I get a terrible sense of panic as I try to navigate away from the page before the music kicks in.

Even closing the window with the homepage on doesn't stop the music on my system. Horrible. Although it seems to have stopped now...
Ooh, that Bernadette Shaw - what a chatterbox!

Me too!

And it must be VERY distracting for anyone trying to Work
in an office where a colleague (eg during his/her different lunch hour) tries to look something up on WoS!

Also concur.

It's incredibly annoying.

Bookmark this address - http://www.whatsonstage.com/board/index.php?act=idx   And never open www.whatsonstage.com itself!  I know, not so helpful if you're on a shared computer, but if you have some way of saving links, then it's worth it...
