Advertising in my Music? WTF

I am at work and happen to be listening to my mp3s on my storage card through the onboard music player. I am pretty engaged in trying to find an error in a formula for the past couple hours but was subconciously noticing what seems to be adds or some announcement of soccer activity between songs. After getting kind of suspicious, I concentrated on listening carefully after each song. Sure enough on que, after each song, I am hearing a foreign voice announcing soccer scores, players, matches, etc. WTF? I look at my screen and each announcement show up in my play list as about a 2 second file. Is this a part of all of those disclosures that get presented which each new APP download? Is this an inherent thing with the Android system or is it possible that my card is now corrupted. This is very annoying and quite alarming. I've been afraid to pull up any of my Credit Card or Bank accounts on my EVO for fear of getting my info and identity stolen. Is this a legit concern as I online banked on my TP2 everyday without reservation. Did any one else experience anything similar? Thanks for any feedback.
