this won't work 100 percent. Why? because people use embeded stuff outside of myspace music. I wish this would work, though, but it's a problem you can't get away from unless you disable flash on myspace entirely. I don't know exactly how to do that, but I think it's possible. However many producers and bands have new stuff on myspace exclusively, so disabling it might not be the best idea if you use myspace for keeping up with music.

Subject: Turning off music on Myspace web pages


Hi all,
I don't know if this has been talked about on this list before, but I've found a great tip to stop music from playing on Myspace, will try it and will give feedback. The tip is taken from
http://blog.johnjosephbachir.org/2006/09/27/solution-for-stopping-music-from-playing-when-visiting-a-myspace-page/
 1.. go to
 START -> RUN

 2.. type the following:
 wordpad "c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts"
 3.. Add the following line to your hosts file
 127.0.0.1 content.music.myspace.com
 4.. Save the file and quit
 5.. Restart your web browser
 6.. No more music. If you want to turn it back on, remove the added line.

 1.. Ari
