  Hi guys,
  Does anybody know if it is possible, the minute someone enters to a post to listen to selected music?
  I mean without pushing another link. Just … whether you want it or not, when you read the post, you listen to the music.
  Is it possible?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Not at WordPress.com as far as I’m aware. It used to be possible, but so many people complained (and it’s not really very safe) that autoplay support was discontinued.

  I think you can set autoplay as one of the options using the SoundCloud Audio Player shortcode.

  Autoplay is indeed an option on the SoundCloud player.

  But… just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. I think that the main effect of autoplay is to annoy people – sometimes not just your readers, but the people around them.

  Best to let your readers decide whether or not they want to hear the music at the same time as they view your content.
