Musicmatch Yahoo And Splash screens

After Yahoo's purchase of Musicmatch the upgrade is more like a downgrade. It adds lots of junk to what was one of the best stand alone music players. Even worse they added a splash screen to older versions asking you to downgrade even if you payed for lifetime updates. I looked around and there doesn't seen to be a way to remove the splash screen once it gets added. Here's a slight workaround if you don't need to connected to them to download music. Use a firewall programs like Zonealarm and block Musicmatch from updating. If you already have it remove it then reinstall. You might need your key to use some of the features.

Maybe someone can make a better workaround. Or maybe Yahoo can put it back the way it was to regain some goodwill.
