From the looks of it, I would say it is safe. Your reports are probably due to the program "calling home" and they find that suspicious.

Tim thanks for replying...but just out of curiousity, from looking at it, what makes you say it's safe?

Also what does "calling home" mean?

At the bottom of the page you linked:

Live365.com is an officially licensed ASCAP, BMI and SESAC site.

I am assuming that (like your anti-virus and other programs) it returns data when it is used. It probably checks music licenses.....
