I’m tired of the music on your blog. What makes you think you can play your music on my computer?

I found a nerdy solution to the problem. Since most of those annoying “playlists” found on blogspot blogs all come from playlist.com, you can eliminate most of the problem with this command (for fellow mac users):

ipfw add deny tcp from any to 66.97.180.235

That’s it. They seemingly have dozens of domains, all pointing to that single IP. Block outbound traffic to the IP, and you’ll be free of that awful music people think you want to hear.

Windows users, try adding these lines to your c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file:

# stop stupid blog music insanity

127.0.0.2 www.greatprofilemusic.com

127.0.0.2 www.myplaylist.org www.profileplaylist.net

127.0.0.2 www.playlistproject.net

127.0.0.2 www.mp3asset.com

There are more domains than that, but I got tired of looking for them. Blocking the IP above is the best way to go.
