AutoPlay on the home page?

We've added the ability for FredRocks administrators to feature members' music on the home page. I'm hoping this will help some of the local talent get exposure with our visitors. All of the featured artists get mixed into one main playlist that's currently set to auto play when someone visits FredRocks.net

So what do you all think? Should it be set to auto play, or would you rather enjoy the quiet until you click the play button?

Also, FYI, there's now a pop-out button that opens the player in a new window, so you can leave the home page while listening to the same music.
