If this is a site throwing up adverts then try 'NoMoreMiniBrowser' plug-in from here

Yes, the combination of the above two suggestions should solve the problem...

You say "every time a song plays" . . .
Are these "songs" MP3 files on your own hard drive, or is it internet streams / radio stations that you're listening to?
If they're local MP3's, then remove the dodgy code from the ID3 tag and report this scandalous behaviour to the webmaster of the site where you're downloading them from....

(nomoremb tool from oddsock should stop dodgy radio station streams from controlling the mb)
