yay !!! - someone else who dosn't mind banner ads - they've never bothered me and especially in terms of players I've always thought the banner ads that came with the jet audio player were a fair trade given how good it is and how many crappy players are around - and yes - with the exception of the kazaa version which is a whole different ball game the spyware has never bothered me too much either but 'pop ups' ?? - with limewire??? - what version are you using

one last thing - with both jet audio and LW the banner ads almost never work for me anyway so that I've never even seriously contemplated using ad aware to remove them - but - if you're so bothered about the pop ups (with morpheus?) you can always download software to get rid of them (just do a google search)
