How do I stop Spotify from auto playing when I open the Chrome extension?

[user-removed]

Everytime I log onto Spotify via the Chrome web player, Spotify starts playing the "Beat the Commute Blues" playlist.  I swear to god if it happens again, I'm going to go to their offices and throw eggs.  

I didn't create the playlist.  I'm not subscribed to the playlist.  I've tried clicking on every link within the web player to try and find something to prevent this from happening.  pls help me
