The about:config settings which you can look up:

    media.autoplay.blocking_policy
    media.autoplay.default

I have mine set to 2 and 5 respectively.

FWIW, blocking policy on 2 blocks (at least some, Qobuz for me) streaming sites and bandcamp (bandcamp being the more problematic one as every band is on their own subdomain and you can’t (I think) just allow all of them).

I seem to have no problems streaming from either Bandcamp or Qobuz, the latter which I'd never heard of before. (or as far as I'm aware any other site) I intentionally want to click-to-play on every site out there, so perhaps you mean "blocks autoplay" or somesuch?

I want to always play full albums, the way 2 is implemented seems to require a click for every track

nod We have different use cases, for my browser use I'm using it as described mainly for one-off playing of content (think like watching a single video from a hotlink, checking out a single track or two from a new band, etc.). For streaming I'm a shoutcast/icecast oriented person, tried and true. :)
