    Nor do I. I can barely tolerate the 'new' crowd sounds, the ambience is just too much for me.

    I use it...it's tone indicates to me when a vital blow has been struck, i.e. someone has hit safely when it isn't immediately apparent, visually...the crowd's roar seems to vary, subtly, depending on the enormity of the hit, the volume highest, of course when the ball is on its way over the fences.

    Tied in with this, is the call of the umpire...usually, this is the first intimation to me of a strike...I'm writing. now, of versions 07 & 08.

    Yes, it's cool, but like, it's so **** loud! It overpowers everything else on my computer so I can't listen to music or even hear MSN/AIM alerts when it's on. Very annoying.

    I turn it off so I can listen to music on iTunes while I play BBM.

    I started using it when I first bought BBM 2009, but after its inconsistency (cheering at the wrong times, not cheering at other times, etc.), I disabled it. I love the idea of it though.

    Re: Use of crowd ambience

    I have it on, but most of the time I don't have my headphones on anyway. Honestly though it's so unbelievably loud sometimes that I don't need to wear my phones to be able to hear what's going on.
