Those don’t hold a candle to Track05-UnknownArtist
Core memory unlocked! The anticipation of waiting for the download to complete and then hear something absolutely wrong was frustrating but I look back at it now and can’t help but laugh.
But then sometimes you download it and it’s a shitty phone recording from some obscure live session
I had a copy of Are You Gonna Be My Girl by Jet that would cut out and loop back in the middle of the song. I listened to it so much I could sing along without missing a beat. Then whenever I heard the right version, it always felt weird when the song flowed through normally.
Hearing a song that you’ve downloaded playing on the radio, surprised it didn’t skip in that one spot
Getting so many songs by the wrong artist.
I had headstrong_linkinpark.
I could never find it on their albums.
Years later find out its by Trapt instead haha
I thought “Bittersweet Symphony” was an Oasis song for years thanks to Limewire.
Waiting 30 minutes to download a song just to hear someone’s bad Bill Clinton impression saying “my fellow Americans…”, the best of times and the worst of times
Hmm why is this song I downloaded only 35KB?
Alien_Ant_Farm-Smooth_Criminal.mp3.exe
Yeah not gonna click that
Left my computer on for 2 days to download a movie and it turned out to be porn.
I spent way too much time back in the day updating metadata of music, renaming them, etc
Same here. I had my iTunes library meticulously organized. Finding mp3s, downloading them, importing them, then updating the metadata.
And now I just use Spotify lol
I still do all this shit. I’ll never switch to those DRM infested subscription services bullshit
please use a dash between artist and song name you uncivilized person!
As someone who had one of these, I’m just surprised there’s any consistency at all
There is rock hard consistency!
I still use mp3s today (no spotify or similar bullshit) and stick to the name convention: [ARTIST_NAME]-[SONG_NAME].mp3
I’ve used Spotify since about 2012, and have been considering setting up some *arr instances at some point in the future to remedy that. Music discovery is just so much easier on something like Spotify though.
*arr instances What is an *arr instance?
I still discover music the old way. I listen to it at a friends place or in the radio :D
Must have been nice to afford an mp3 player back then. I bet you unironically Grey Pouponed people too.
