MySpace disabled its auto-play feature last month in a bid to save $10m/month in streaming fees.  Next Big Sound reported on the impact this move has had on the number of overall plays on the site and, interestingly, how “the number of streams MySpace reports is no longer inflated by auto-play and is more directly impacted by true fans listening to their favorite songs.”
