Good evening, all. Upon trying to purchase a couple of tunes this evening from Connect/Sonic Stage to fill out my collection from a particular artist, I was presented with the following pop-up greeting:

Hey music fan,

It appears you are still using an older version of the Connect software.

We strongly recommend that you upgrade to the latest version. Otherwise, you will not be able to burn any newly purchased content.

Upgrading also offers the following benefits:

Enhanced burn rights - Burn up to seven regular CDs of any playlist*

RadioConnect - Streaming music 24/7 with an easy "Click-to-buy" feature

Improved performance

Improved user interface...

The "upgrade" button then takes you to a link that touts the new Connect version 3.2 (same version as my current Sonic Stage installation).

Now, I had purchased a few other songs just a day or two ago without this aggravation, so this must havew just been implemented yesterday or today. The thing that bugs me most about this (other than wanting to just be left the #%!* alone), is the bit about not being able to burn newly purchased content without upgrading. Is that for real? I guess I should take them at their word when they say that, but maybe they were just kidding...in order to get people to install it?

And does anyone know if "upgrading" to the "new" Connect just replace the Sonic Stage name with Connect...since it has the same version no. as the current Sonic Stage installation?

Thanks...
