I don’t think this is a good idea. If visitors want to hear your music they will click on play. Having music start automatically is more likely to drive people away from your site. Your readers can make up their own minds. Maybe make the audio on your page more obvious. Or include a sentence asking them to give it a listen and leave you a comment.

you´re rigth, some times time goes so fast for me!
and I´m so grateful for all your help… I´ve said it before: I have never seen anything like this, I used to pay for a web and these people took always a week to answer me whaterver.about the searchs… I always use to do them before ask… but regarding to the audio player… I have been several times in http://en.support.wordpress.com/audio/
but not then not now I can see anything related to play automatically the player.I´ll check the other link.
thank you a lot!
you´re making my days better with your help and advises.

I strongly agree with hallluke. If I enter a blog and I’m blasted with music I didn’t choose to hear I click out and never ever return again. You may want to consider that most people in this world wish to choose their own music and providing them an opportunity to make a choice rather than making it for them is a much wiser thing to do.

thanks for the advise.
I´m just trying all the posibilities and playing around with them…
maybe the day I´m father I want to put the crying of my baby to be auto-played to share that… happiness?well, as long as I know myself that will never happen. but I´d like to know how to do it if the case.
thanks a lot, I´ve tryed with other players and there are beautiful posibilities (as the simple wp player is a little bit limited)
