After 20 years doing IT I decided to start a business in the travel industry. I actually don't like traveling for the sake of traveling, but I love going on vacations around the world. I've only been doing the business end for 5 months, but the business was in the black after 3 months. It's not making near enough to quit my day job (yet), but I don't mind letting my day job build up my part time business until I can "retire" from IT.
Another person commented (above) that you should stick with it through the thin patches. While I agree with that in concept (I know that I have done that on a few occasions in the past) I think that your 20 years of experience would allow you to have perspective and you wouldn't have asked the question if you thought that was the only/best alternative.
Oddly enough when I did exactly as you instructed, there was no huge pepsi icon or anything that said Redeem Song. I also did a search on both the page and the page source and there was no mention of "pepsi" or "redeem" (song shows more times than I am willing to count).:)
Now I have not installed the player on my machines so maybe it does something differently when the player is installed, but I have to agree with the original poster that it appears to be harder than it needs to to simply redeem a song.

Lots of luck on whatever you decide to do!
Ditto. All my servers were migrated to Debian and my GUI boxes are SuSE and Gentoo.
