Some of the best comments ever.
"Couldn’t find how to turn off the blasted RAP music advertisements on the top of the AIM - it comes on without warning and it’s LOUD. " ~Concerned
"These Jamster ads, where you roll over it to hear the music, are so annoying that my team at work has decided to stop using AIM. I can’t work with annoying Rap music blaring out of my machine everytime I accidentally roll over an ad" ~Worker
"Those ads don’t even actually require a direct rollover. Anywhere near the ad and you get loud rap music. It not only makes me want to stay as far away from Jamster as possible, but also makes me want to shut down AIM so that I don’t have to deal with it! " ~Techie
"Our Company uses AIM to talk between co-workers. Anytime I go to close or minimize another program, that ad thinks I’m rolling over it. I love the AIM radio, but I have to turn it off because the rap songs go on and on." ~Salary Man
"It is not needed to have these audible advertisements. It is a real problem, that both yahoo messanger and MSN LIVE do not encounter. I recommend finding a solution and fast." ~Home User
"Now, if it had been a 300 ad playing the theme music from the movie, that’d be a little better. Only because that movie rocked." ~Movie Lover
"I was awaken at 2 in the morning by my computer shouting out this sound, my family almost had a heart attack!" ~Family Member
"These Jammster ads are noise pollution, sound graffitti." ~Haterade
"I get so pissed when i’m on AIM and listening to great music that I can really soak in, I turn the volume up and them some Jibbs s**t or Young Joc pops up. I WANT TO KILL THE THING. Usually you can click out of it and get a different ad, but it doesnt go away. I have no idea who’s on because I don’t keep my buddy list up, i’m so scared of jumping 3 feet every time the hip hop flips on." ~Classics
"AIM users are forced to listen to this nasty spoon noise, with no way of avoiding it. So much for parental controls." ~Spoons
"I was in the other room, playing a video game when all of the sudden I hear HORRID music coming from my room. I couldn’t figure out what it was at first, until finally I maximized AIM and found that the dumb little Jamster ad had started a dumb rap song that’s not even good. Sure I don’t like rap (who uses AIM that does?) but some of these songs are just dumb and it ANGERS me how they just start playing while I’m not even in the room!" ~Teenager
Jamster Must be Paying AOL some Good Money..
Well the Jury is out! Jamster needs to get tha steppin!
"I’m in college, and nothing ruins working late night on a paper more that Jamster blaring at top volume through my room at 4 am. Me and my roomate are ready to take a hammer to AIM every other second. WORST set of ads EVER!" ~Future President!
JAMSTER! YOU ARE RUINING OUR CHILDREN’S FUTURE!
Insider Tip! 
Add 127.0.0.1 ar.atwola.com and 127.0.0.1 ads.web.aol.com to HOSTS file!
Aim Pro and Aim Lite do not have Advertisments, use them instead.
This website gives you a patch to disable the stupid and annoying ads.

Thats not for the 6.0 series.
No business user in their right mind will use AIM 6.0 until the Jamster rollover ad music and assorted obnoxious sounds are disabled. It has been banned in business settings.
