    Don't you hate those websites that auto play content? It drains resources like you wouldn't believe plus there is a scramble to mute your speakers quickly before anyone else hears.

    Not to mention those tabs that start playing audio in the background. I mean which one is playing?!

    Make it play Baker Street on loop.

    Just call it "user-hostile". They will either not want to appear hostile and ditch the idea or they will hate you to your core and fire you.

    Just do what your customer wants you to do. They are paying you right?

    Do one thing, tell him doing this will reduce the SEO Ranking, and he might end up being blacklisted, and paying thousands of dollars to Google to re-list the site in their Search results...

    1. Climb to your terminal.
    2. apt-get remove --purge client
    3. apt-cache autoclean
    4. apt-get autoremove

    Tell them latest versions of Chrome/Firefox/etc. no longer support auto-play audio. They will be none the wiser. technical_excuses > well_formed_opinions when it comes to these kind of clients.
