Add Option to turn off autoplay

Hi, Can you please disable autoplay when first opening the website or the App? Autoplaying sound from a webpage makes the webpage inaccessible. It represents a huge distruption, is unnecessary, and to be honest, quite rude. Despite past responses from Pandora staff, there is no option to disable autoplay using Browser Settings Its been a best practice of website developers to not play autoplay sounds when a webpage loads for at least 15 years due to accessibility issues. If pandora is going to ignore  this important best practice, you should at least update your help docs to show accurate, current information. This webpage from 2018 is outdated ... View more

Re: Web: Adjust Auto-Playback Setting

This first link you sent is fro 2018 and is no longer relevant, as I stated in my earlier post. The second link is also non applicable since it applies to all websites and all sounds. I  want to disable AUTOPLAY, and autoplay only, and only for pandora.com (no other website that I know of autoplays sound on page load) Autoplaying sound on a webpage is intrusive and disrespectful. It is the responsibility of pandora to ensure it's website is accessible to it's customers. It is not the responsibillity of the browser to ensure the website is accessible. Please create an option to disable autoplay so that this website can be useful. Otherwise, whats the point of being a subscriber and paying for a junk service? ... View more

Re: Web: Adjust Auto-Playback Setting

Again, how do i prevent pandora.com from autoplaying? I shouldn't need a hack to keep my devices accessible to my needs just to use your services.  i can simply not be a customer if indeed Pandora doesn't care about accessibility. It seems that will need to be the case.    mod edit: removed 3rd party link ... View more

Re: Web: Adjust Auto-Playback Setting

not helpful. Invalid solution. First, your documentation seems wrong. I am using Chrome. Your documentation states "Chrome should learn your autoplay preference when you open Pandora." This is incorrect. I've been stoppinng autoplay manually every time I go to pandora.com for years. Furthermore, there is no option in  Chrome's settings to turn off autoplay. There is a setting to turn off all sounds on all sites, yes. I want to turn off AUTOPLAY for PANDORA.COM. This seems to be a Pandora problem. Therefore, I will ask again, how do I turn off autoplay when I visit pandora.com? ... View more

Disable autoplay on initial load

how do i prevent autoplay when i first load pandora in a brower? On every other webpage on the internet, it is not acceptable to auto play sound due to accessibility issues. Why does Pandora think its ok to not also provide that choice to its users. I've long been reluctant to use pandora out of principle; if they can't have enough respect for the end user to provide an ability to turn off this feature, why should i bother using their service? Perfect example of a greedy corporation forcing an experience onto the user ... View more
