If it were only the spyware! I had to clean my brother's machine of various pieces of crap that came with Kazaa.

I've only ever used WinMX for any length of time (about 2 weeks back at the end of last summer). Most of what I downloaded is trashed in some way (poor rip, even though lists a high bitrate, cut before the song ends, etc...) Then a bunch of stuff is fine. I managed to get the entire new Charlatans album before it was released. I bought it of course (but kept two of the downloaded tracks because they're not on the Canadian release - I'm still planning on buying the UK import and all the singles).

Ok, I hate all the knobs I saw post about the Audio Center on Slashdot. And I hate it when people put the toilet paper roll in backwards (rolling back and under instead of forward and over.)
