[![LOUD MUSIC](http://hypebot.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83451b36c69e20120a5049e32970b-400wi)](http://hypebot.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83451b36c69e20120a5049e32970b-pi?ref=hypebot.com) 

How many times have you visited a band's MySpace page only to have the band's music automatically start blaring out of your speakers? Well, no more.

In an apparent move to save bandwidth costs on the more than a billion or more auto-play streams a month, MySpace Music has disabled the feature. Users can opt back in to the feature. This also has the benefit, [sources say](http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/08/18/myspace-disables-auto-play-of-profile-songs-to-get-streaming-costs-under-control/?ref=hypebot.com), of improving the user experience and providing better listening data.
