ah the good old days, where instead of recommendation algorithms you had some guy deliberately adding more popular artists' names to songs so you'd accidentally download them and broaden your horizons a bit

shoutouts to whoever mislabeled Chylinska as Rammstein in 2001 btw, you made me like 5% cooler

Audio Satellite was the best.

Napster for me, and I downloaded the entire Metallica anthology after Lars Ulrich said what he did.

By the time I got an Mp3 player like this, the second generation iPod released soon after. 😬

I still use one of those MP3 players and MP3s of music and podcasts, best way to go for a walk and not have to worry if you're mugged, all they get is a cheap MP3 player!

I swear I had this exact model in blue, before going back to SanDisk

I went full circle. Downloaded from Napster back in the day, and now I subscribe to their streaming service. They apparently pay artists better than some of the other streamers, too.

There is a song that I can no longer access on an old iPod. It was that song "Better Off Alone" by Alice DJ, but it had like extra songs added into it kinda like a mashup of a few other songs. How I WISH I could go back and download it on Limewire. :(
