Can anyone suggest to me a good Napster alternative that doesn't have that sick advertising software hidden in it? Morpheus and iMesh both have it I've found. Not sure about any of the others though. Thanks!

Define "sick".
What's sick for you might not be for Calv, and vice versa :)

yeah, exactly. They could atleast tell you they have adware in their software instead of sneaking it in.

hey anybody look for a cracked version of Morpheus without the adware?? I think there should be a try program that kinda prevents adwindows from popping up. I aint a programer so I wouldn't know where to begin. Besides look at the ad cookies you get just by going into this forum.

I find that with Morpheus if you just leave the ad window open they'll stop popping up. Minimize it and you won't have to worry.
