Of course, but could we petition M@x and Ronnie to forbid audio ads? This is a music site. No matter what it is, it's going to be annoying, and that doesn't help the advertiser either.

If you have firefox installed, what you need to do in order to get read of the adds and banners is to install an add-on called Adblock. You can find it here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865

I found my fix for safari on http://www.versiontracker.com/windows/ It's a good site for picking up odds and ends. Lots of free stuff too.

Erm... it has the same features, and a lot more to discover as one reads the help and tutorial files. Now, Opera is a cool browser that can certainly make things difficult. Both browsers are really worthy it (opera has a zoom magnifier, a voice module, gestures that recognizes movement from mouse and trigger certain actions, a POP web mail administrator, Torrent client). Anyway, I'm sure I'm the only person on earth that reads tutorials.

Well is there a good adblocker for IE that can at least block the sound?

I don't use either one, pity. I just turn the speakers off when I'm in PA and don't go to PA when I listen to music.
 
The ad has been bothering me so much that I had to do the same thing,which sucks because I listen to music when I am on the puter.
 
It's one of the most intrusive,annoying ads I have ever encountered.It is one the top of 90-95% of the pages that I turn to here in the forum and in the archives.
 
I guess, it pays for our forum talk, we have to live with it.
