Anybody else noticed that they have a Napster cat in the upper right hand corner of their media player ? WTF did it come from ?

I saw that the other day. No idea what it is all about.

i think here is the deal with that: napster is now working with microsoft for digital music

Yea, I did some more digging, looks like the napster or 'pay menu' with 20+ pay sites was pushed down under a critical update instead of a optional update :flamemad: . If you have the napster cat just right click on it to see what I'm talking about. Well, I guess this media pc is coming off line while I install fedora core6 and mythtv, darn and I just got it where I wanted it too. Initially I thought it was from the AVG upgrade to 7.5 but it also showed up on two other XP boxes here at the house I had not upgraded to the new avg.
According to my update history there is no mention to 'updating' media player with other than 'security updates'.
