Music Maker (free) opening webpage on exit

I received Music Maker free, bundled with a paid for copy of Sound Forge Audio Cleaning Lab 2.  When I exit Music Maker, the program closes, but immediately opens up a webpage in my browser.  I presume this is to somehow persuade me to buy a copy.  I want to switch this feature off as I am constantly having to close my browser!

same issue here... I have purchased whatever add-ons and also soundpools which I wanted using the store within the app, so no need for me to further upgrade to versions that have additional features I do not want.

hope they there is an option to stop displaying the website everytime I shut down the program or want to shut down the computer it opens the webpage.

cheers all

. . . . Music Maker free . . . .

As with many free programs there is always a catch - pop up on start, in program advertising, or a pop-up on close. Magix, and a couple of other free programs I use, have chosen the least annoying route.

This is the more expensive route especially if you need more features, Instruments, Soundpools later on - buying the Premium version is the most economical way, particularly when sale offers are on.
