Hi Catherine I have been a member of myspace for over a year now.You can read any myspace pages, including peoples blogs, without needing to signup to anything. If you are a myspace member and subscribe to a myspace blog you get notifications when new postings appear.
It is not, as far as I know, possible to join myspace with out some help in reading the captcha. They have also introduced more captcha verification recently when you want to use myspace email.
When you are a myspace member you can change your preferences to specify whether or not to play any music that is set to autoplay on peoples pages.
Personally, I have my Internet Explorer security settings set a a high level where activex and some other scripting is disabled. This stops any of the embedded audio and video in sites such as myspace from playing.
I also have Mozilla Firefox on my system and I use that to go onto myspace pages for bands where I want to hear their music.
Hope this helps. Jim----- Original Message ----- From: "Catherine Turner" <catherineturner2000@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi, Does anyone here use Myspace?Does anyone know whether you have to be a member of myspace to subscribe to a blog there - it seems you do but I'm not sure.Is there any way of stopping music playing when a myspace page loads? Does myspace have a capcha when you sign up?
