I just thought I'd share how annoying I find playlist.com or any other site's streaming music feeds on people's blogs.  Don't worry, all of my followers who are at fault, I still come to read . . . but it's so obnoxious!  Especially if the player is near the bottom of the page (conveniently located near the top in the right column is acceptable).  I have to scroll past, typically 7, posts that may be who knows how long - just to shut the thing up.  It's not so much that we have different tastes in music (though, Nicole, I love the music on your blog, and I generally don't pause it), it's mostly that there are other things going on in my house when I read others' blogs - and the sudden burst of music is a pain.  If I'm home alone, sure, I'll probably let the thing play, but I hate having to either turn off the speakers, adjust the volume of my speakers, or go find the player to shut it up.

Even more annoying?  MORE THAN ONE PLAYER!  People, do you realize these things just start playing when I get to your blog?  If you have TWO players, I get TWO different kinds of music (which, of course, are TWO different genres that don't even go together!)  That makes it IMPOSSIBLE to read your blog without either turning off the speakers or scrolling to the bottom and shutting them both down. 

PLEASE visit your own blogs to assess your current layouts and music.  I love you all - and, like I said, I'll still read your blog - but consider your readers, please :)
