Left my computer on for 2 days to download a movie and it turned out to be porn.
Those don’t hold a candle to Track05-UnknownArtist
Hearing a song that you’ve downloaded playing on the radio, surprised it didn’t skip in that one spot
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
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.
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
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.
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.
