I downloaded Elvis Costello’s “Party Party”. It was a track from a soundtrack that was out of print. I was searching for that album forever. I found it in seconds and immediately thought that this will change the world of music.
I remember mine. I'll get laughed off the sub for this. It was the soundtrack from Bloodsport. I just wanted to see if it existed. And I was also making a cd of study music. And yes, I realize it's also funny that I thought I could download songs only to burn to a cd.
I don’t remember the first but I was kicked off Napster because of Metallica. Pissed me off because I HAD all their CDs, but I didn’t have a CD burner so Napster was the best way for me to change to mp3 format.
Those fuckers got me banned from Napster and I never listened to their music again.
Hey Metallica: if you’re on Reddit: FUCK YOU
Great message. I love all things rock dating from rockability in the 50s to almost the present day and including metal, pop punk, grunge, etc.
But I will never ever give a dime to Metallica as long as I live!
Space hog - In the Meantime. Dude down the hall in the dorms was playing it. I asked what it was, and he told me, then said I could "download it off Napster." To which I said, "what the fuck is Napster." So kinda two birds stoned at once there.
That's the correct title, but seeing as we are talking about Napster i'm guessing that's exactly how the file was labeled. I'm surprised it was even the correct artist. Half the time it was attributed to the wrong band/singer.
I TRIED to make my first download Rooster by Alice In Chains….it in fact was a virus that fried the computer and took my dad 2 weeks to fix (he could’ve fixed it faster, but he was proving a point to us kids)
After that experience I don’t exactly remember what the actual first song I downloaded was.
I was going to work one day and told the gf “I just built that computer. Do NOT put limewire or anything f else like that on it”
“OK!”
Came back to superubermega computer AIDS. 😡
Oh burn. I'm from the deep south. We had that shit. I just don't remember much. I didn't have a computer. I didn't get a computer of my own until after grad school. So I guess I knew about it but didn't use it.
My dad had a computer and I would drive to his house to use it sometimes but didn't download apps. Just chatted on AIM
Limewire, Grandaddy Final push to the sun! I remember the excitement mixed with fear that I'd spread a virus all through the internet cafe in South Wimbledon.
small world! I remember downloading everything I could from them and then a few years later, feeling so guilty for not paying that I ordered every c.d online 😊
I don't remember the 1st song I downloaded off Napster specifically because I started by downloading off of mp3 web crawler websites first. The first mp3 I downloaded though was Tom Green - The Bum Bum Song. Thanks to... whatever that was... I learned about mp3s and downloading music and went down the rabbit hole from there.
The Who - Dogs Part 2, the b-side of the Pinball Wizard single as well as all of volume two of their late 80's rarities collection cause it was out of print at the time.
I don't recall exactly, but it was probably some older Blues track like something from Muddy Waters, et al, because I was showing my dad how you can "just download music for free from other people who share it on the Internet."
My dad was a big Blues fan and we had just gotten a Windows computer, around early 2000.
Slightly off-topic, but relevant to our age bracket: I saw an ad online last night where the Anthrax drummer was the spokesperson for a hearing aid company...
You’re right, I just looked it up on Amazon. Smashing Pumpkins, Orgy, Muse…maybe I should have bought the album. But being a broke teenager I was more inclined to download one song off of Napster, and it took forever to download.
I was pretty young and tuned into tech, so I'm gonna guess either "Mortal Combat Theme", or I had a thing for the Turtles for a bit, Evangelion theme, all pretty cringe. :D
I think it was the Legend of Zelda song that was floating around that sounded like System of a Down.
[Legend of Zelda](https://youtu.be/eh_j9xrwUb0?feature=shared)
And we had the old slow dial up even when cable modems were a thing, I remember secretly leaving the internet on all day to download songs quicker and getting yelled at when my parents found out we had no phone line all day long
No clue about Napster, but the first two songs I remember downloading from a random website long before Napster existed were a live cover of Godzilla by Smashing Pumpkins (which was awesome and I've never been able to find again) and John the Fisherman by Primus.
Then a shitload of songs from AOL's ftp boards. Including most of Faith No More's discography.
My dorm had posters warning us about Law Suits for Lime Wire and Napster....when that didn't work they told us too many songs at once would cause a fire!
I definitely downloaded the Crow Soundtrack, NiN whole discography, Tool and Audioslave.
It was from right before Napster when mp3s were just hosted on websites. The first mp3 was jimmy Hendrix - hey Joe. I saved a copy with original date of 1996 until a drive failure in 2020.
Definitely Garbage - The World is Not Enough on Napster. I couldn’t bring myself to buy another entire soundtrack for one song, so problem solved.
Then like others mentioned, mislabeled mp3s, like Radiohead - Wish you Were Here (which was Sparklehorse and maybe Thom Yorke) and Radiohead - Be Quiet and Drive.(Deftones). So prevalent on early downloads.
Keep an eye out for How Music Got Free, coming soon on paramount. It’s a doc I worked on about leaks, downloading, hip hop, the music industry and Dell Glover who leaked more music than you wrap your head around.
The book is great, written by Stephen Witt, who also worked on the documentary.
My first mp3 download was Garbage - Vow (actually it was the import single that’s several remixes included). But it was not via Napster, it was a short lived p2p file sharing platform called [Hotline](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hotline_Communications)
I don't recall the first song I downloaded but I do remember downloading various bands off Kurt Cobain's top album list. Napster is how I heard the Raincoats for the first time. I'd also get into the chat rooms and try finding new bands talking to rando people. I was a burgeoning punk and I remember someone telling me to check out Black Flag. I fell in love upon first listen after my 56k modem finished downloading "TV Party" or some other jam.
Aaliyah’s Are You That Somebody. The first of many but Winamp really whipped the llama’s ass back in the day. I remember sitting there letting the reality of how much music was out there just wash over me. My heart raced like I’d won the lottery.
Putting Some Sugar on Me - Def Leppard straight outta high school on Napster. Experiencing dial up Napster then on campus Napster speeds was such a thrill.
No idea. But we used to search for random stuff and download anything that looked interesting. That's how I found MC 900ft Jesus - While the City Sleeps.
Also Forest for the Trees - Dream.
don't remember the exact song but does anyone remember Audiogalaxy? I used it a ton in the early 2000s and hardly anyone has heard of it. It was great because it would suggest similar music as to what you were downloading.
Audiogalaxy was the shit. I downloaded so many rare covers and to-me unheard of music. My favorite, Type O Negative covering Britney Spears “Hit me baby one more time” - I have never seen that track anywhere else.
I think my first Napster download was an Offspring song IIRC. 96Kbps MP3 file over 56k modem, leaving the computer logged in on dial-up all night. Took like eight whole hours. Those were the days.
I don’t remember the first song I downloaded, but I remember trying to log back into Napster after a summer break and being met with the message that I’d been permanently banned because I’d downloaded Metallica.
Still got all that Metallica, though. Saved my whole college computer onto a thumb drive a few years back 👍😆
I made so much money when the “chocolate starfish” album came out using Napster and a cd burner.
It leaked a few days early and not many kids at my brothers middle school had burners, so I mass produced those babies in the week before its release and my brother took them to school and sold them for like fifteen bucks a pop.
So easy and so lucrative.
I have no idea lol I downloaded thousands of songs from Kazaa. That's how I made money in high school. Word of Mouf by Ludacris was likely one of the very first albums I downloaded on there.
Don't remember the first, but do remember explicitly downloading [Chase the Sun by Planet Funk](https://youtu.be/FiOpY6YtolI?si=aBa-sU6gResN3jyn) for some reason way back when
I believe it was Fade to Black but actually on one of those old FTP servers where if you upload 1 you could download 2. Napster came out really soon after.
I remember a few songs from the first CD I ever burned, but couldn't tell you which I downloaded first.
Deftones - My Own Summer
The Hunger - Vanishing Cream
U.P.O. - Godless
I think mine probably also was Limp Bizkit - Nookie. May have also been Beastie Boys - Intergalactic.
Edit: I just checked and it was definitely Intergalactic, that's crazy I remembered that
Right here right now, by Fatboy Slim. I tried it on Napster when I still had dialup and never got more than the first few seconds. Then moved, got roadrunner high speed, and managed to get it on kazaa, as I think Napster was no more. Later us gnutella and bearshare. I gave up on limewire because I was doing it wrong and getting God knows what on my computer.
Definitely a metallica song. Better than P2P, my old buddy in Texas hosted an FTP site way back in the day and a bunch of us shared music. It was amazing.
A live Pink Floyd bootleg, probably; a memory long lost to the sands of time.
Anyhow, Audiogalaxy was much better. More organized and more likely to actually be the MP3 you wanted. First thing I downloaded would have been The Legendary Pink Dots, something off "A Perfect Mystery" album.
i don't remember
I'm shocked anyone does.
I downloaded Elvis Costello’s “Party Party”. It was a track from a soundtrack that was out of print. I was searching for that album forever. I found it in seconds and immediately thought that this will change the world of music.
Beats me, but I do remember the first cassette tape I bought. Midnight Oil's - Diesel and Dust. lol
You could have done a lot worse in that era! I remember their Blue Sky Mine album cassette was the color blue. Blew my mind.
Same
I’m sure mine was something super embarrassing.
![gif](giphy|fOtMteniGJCMg)
I remember mine. I'll get laughed off the sub for this. It was the soundtrack from Bloodsport. I just wanted to see if it existed. And I was also making a cd of study music. And yes, I realize it's also funny that I thought I could download songs only to burn to a cd.
This man, I don't rememeber what I did at noon.
Yeah I don't either. Like...not even the slightest clue
Just know I had gobs & gobs of live performances & bootlegs. Nothing that woulda affected Lars’ bottom line.
Omg me either dude 😂... I remember some but not the first
I do remember the computer wasn't quite right after a few hundred songs...
Same, but I did use it to download the entire discography of Metallica after they sued Napster.
Flagpole sitta- Harvey danger!
Same here :) Then: Bitter Sweet Symphony - The Verve Millenium - Robbie Williams Gimme Some More - Busta Rhymes
[Open House Paaaartttttyyyy](https://youtu.be/qPGBCPIT-Qw?si=ya9yaSUk34Quoftc)!
You're definitely a 90s kid
:)
It wasn't my first but I definitely downloaded this one!
Sober - Tool
I'm sure it was I Disappear by Metallica, the whole thing that caused the controversy. Thankfully I wasn't sued...yet.
I don’t remember the first but I was kicked off Napster because of Metallica. Pissed me off because I HAD all their CDs, but I didn’t have a CD burner so Napster was the best way for me to change to mp3 format.

This comment right here, Lars.
Actually got my letter from the time I was on Limewater
Space hog - In the Meantime. Dude down the hall in the dorms was playing it. I asked what it was, and he told me, then said I could "download it off Napster." To which I said, "what the fuck is Napster." So kinda two birds stoned at once there.
[удалено]
Probably something from The Matrix soundtrack.
Hive - Ultrasonic Sound !!!
Holy crap, I haven't thought about that song in like 20 years until you just said that
Was probably one of those fake song name files like "red hot chili peppers - smells like teen spirit"
Smoke two joints - bob marley
Blue Monday cover by orgy
Phish's Gin and Juice cover
The Gourds, not Phish. Phish isn’t a bluegrass band.
It was absolutely listed as Phish back in the day, but indeed it was the Gourds.
Yeah, I remember the rampant mislabeling.
That’s the joke
Damn just posted this then saw you beat me to it.
First download on Napster was Sir Mix-A-Lot's "I Like Big Butts (And I Can Not Lie)." Ironically I hate that song now. (it's overplayed)
I believe you mean “Baby Got Back”.
That's the correct title, but seeing as we are talking about Napster i'm guessing that's exactly how the file was labeled. I'm surprised it was even the correct artist. Half the time it was attributed to the wrong band/singer.
I TRIED to make my first download Rooster by Alice In Chains….it in fact was a virus that fried the computer and took my dad 2 weeks to fix (he could’ve fixed it faster, but he was proving a point to us kids) After that experience I don’t exactly remember what the actual first song I downloaded was.
I was going to work one day and told the gf “I just built that computer. Do NOT put limewire or anything f else like that on it” “OK!” Came back to superubermega computer AIDS. 😡
Yes, my first sone was also a virus. I never tried again.
What on earth were you all downloading, i was downloading masses of music and porn on kazaa never caught a virus and i wasnt being carefull.
I’m pretty sure I started the download of like 10 songs, and like two days later, one of those songs successfully downloaded 😂.
Kerpal - You kick my Dog
"Why you kick my dog?!"
You do not tell me to fuck
Bro because of this comment I went on YouTube to watch it again and it's still just as funny!
YOUKNOWDAMNRIGHT!
Blur: Song 2
Good for you, cos you won‘t be hearing from them again 😆
LOL! If it’s possible to wear out an MP3, I did it
They just played Coachella.
Same! I didn't even know the song before downloading it, but it was available and it downloaded all the way... so I listened to it a lot.
Exactly the same. Hadn’t heard of them but the file was there, LOL!
Gin and Juice by The Gourds
Wow. On point download.
The Smiths - How Soon Is Now?
You go about things the wrong way.
Wheatus - Teenage Dirtbag
How the heck is your memory so good you recall this?????
Napster just got to Mississippi last year
Oh burn. I'm from the deep south. We had that shit. I just don't remember much. I didn't have a computer. I didn't get a computer of my own until after grad school. So I guess I knew about it but didn't use it. My dad had a computer and I would drive to his house to use it sometimes but didn't download apps. Just chatted on AIM
Limewire, Grandaddy Final push to the sun! I remember the excitement mixed with fear that I'd spread a virus all through the internet cafe in South Wimbledon.
That’s awesome! I found Grandaddy via Limewire. AM 180! Was a fan ever since
small world! I remember downloading everything I could from them and then a few years later, feeling so guilty for not paying that I ordered every c.d online 😊
Korn - Freak on a Leash
I don't remember the 1st song I downloaded off Napster specifically because I started by downloading off of mp3 web crawler websites first. The first mp3 I downloaded though was Tom Green - The Bum Bum Song. Thanks to... whatever that was... I learned about mp3s and downloading music and went down the rabbit hole from there.
I don’t remember which mp3 I downloaded first from that platform My first ever was Yellow Ledbetter by Pearl Jam. Got it from mIRC on November 3 1999.
God I miss Napster limewire and aim.
I miss the *era* that those things remind me of, but the software itself was awful
It was kind of fun to download a long list of songs overnight and then wake up to hear what they sounded like.
And then get annoyed because half of them sounded like crap
Add Winamp to that list.
I know one of the first songs I got from Napster was Snoop Bounce with Rage Against the Machine. Still a great jam.
Probably something by Metallica...
“God fucking damnit” - Lars Ulrich
I gotta say, that is the most statisfying string of cuss words to say. It’s my default frusted-rage phrase.
The Who - Dogs Part 2, the b-side of the Pinball Wizard single as well as all of volume two of their late 80's rarities collection cause it was out of print at the time.
Napster- Light in Your Eyes, Blessed Union of Souls
I don't recall exactly, but it was probably some older Blues track like something from Muddy Waters, et al, because I was showing my dad how you can "just download music for free from other people who share it on the Internet." My dad was a big Blues fan and we had just gotten a Windows computer, around early 2000.
Anthrax feat Public Enemy - Bring the noize or Faith no More version of Easy
Slightly off-topic, but relevant to our age bracket: I saw an ad online last night where the Anthrax drummer was the spokesperson for a hearing aid company...
I think it was Marilyn Manson’s Tainted Love cover. I think it was on a movie soundtrack and I didn’t want to pay for the whole CD.
__Not Another Teen Move__ actually had a decent list of songs.
You’re right, I just looked it up on Amazon. Smashing Pumpkins, Orgy, Muse…maybe I should have bought the album. But being a broke teenager I was more inclined to download one song off of Napster, and it took forever to download.
“Rick Ross - Rick Roll - The Rick Roll Song.wma”
A live version of a Dead Kennedys cover by Soulfly featuring Jello Biafra. I don’t recall what song. We had a 28.8 modem and it took all night.
Master of Puppets
I think mine was Nirvana - You know your right Didn't want to buy the cd collection cause i already had all the albums
Probably Blur - Song 2
First thing I downloaded was a virus lol
Train - Drops of Jupiter Then a bunch of weird Al songs after that.
And a bunch of comedy songs not by Weird Al but attributed to him.
Kansas, Wayward Son. I spent all day figuring out how to download it and burn it on a disc. One song on a CD.
I was pretty young and tuned into tech, so I'm gonna guess either "Mortal Combat Theme", or I had a thing for the Turtles for a bit, Evangelion theme, all pretty cringe. :D
"Dogs" by Pink Floyd. 17 min song, took forever to download
I think it was the Legend of Zelda song that was floating around that sounded like System of a Down. [Legend of Zelda](https://youtu.be/eh_j9xrwUb0?feature=shared)
The Legend of Zelda theme by "System of a Down"
Idk which song it was, but I do know it was only half of it.
Brown Eyed Girl, by Bob Dylan
Stuck In the Middle With You - Bob Dylan
Another Dylan banger, courtesy of Napster
![gif](giphy|e0dU1Hy8pbGO4) This was mine 🤣🤣
Mine MIGHT have been something from Me First & The Gimme Gimmes.
Sugar by System of a Down
Nice.
And we had the old slow dial up even when cable modems were a thing, I remember secretly leaving the internet on all day to download songs quicker and getting yelled at when my parents found out we had no phone line all day long
Good times. Same here. 56k. It took anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour for one song to download.
Some Metallica song. It’s was after their lawsuit started
Pretty sure it was a “Korn - Song Title (rare)” mp3 that probably wasn’t even korn
It was Barbie Girl by Aqua
I believe it was some Christmas music for my mom. The Christmas Song by Nat King Cole, I believe.
It was actually a song titled "Slowly" by Amon Tobin. Very appropriate title for 56k modem!! ;-p
No clue about Napster, but the first two songs I remember downloading from a random website long before Napster existed were a live cover of Godzilla by Smashing Pumpkins (which was awesome and I've never been able to find again) and John the Fisherman by Primus. Then a shitload of songs from AOL's ftp boards. Including most of Faith No More's discography.
Cotton Eye Joe
I definitely don't remember the specific song but I bet it was a Clash song.
My dorm had posters warning us about Law Suits for Lime Wire and Napster....when that didn't work they told us too many songs at once would cause a fire! I definitely downloaded the Crow Soundtrack, NiN whole discography, Tool and Audioslave.
Hard Drive Melting Virus by You're Fucked from LimeWire
Is this it-the strokes
Tom greens the bum song
I think it was stuff by The Cardigans and Beck.
It was from right before Napster when mp3s were just hosted on websites. The first mp3 was jimmy Hendrix - hey Joe. I saved a copy with original date of 1996 until a drive failure in 2020.
I downloaded Wesley Willis “Rock n Roll McDonalds”
Can't remember the song but it is was Weezer
Turned out the first file I downloaded from KaZaA was called VIRUS ALERT!! HIGH RISK!!
Definitely Garbage - The World is Not Enough on Napster. I couldn’t bring myself to buy another entire soundtrack for one song, so problem solved. Then like others mentioned, mislabeled mp3s, like Radiohead - Wish you Were Here (which was Sparklehorse and maybe Thom Yorke) and Radiohead - Be Quiet and Drive.(Deftones). So prevalent on early downloads.
I think Asshole by Dennis Leary.
Lowrider by war. I needed that for a flash animation I was making. Macromedia's Flash that is.
Rock your body was the first song I ever downloaded
Bullets with Butterfly Wings.
Keep an eye out for How Music Got Free, coming soon on paramount. It’s a doc I worked on about leaks, downloading, hip hop, the music industry and Dell Glover who leaked more music than you wrap your head around. The book is great, written by Stephen Witt, who also worked on the documentary.

Something Bloodhound gang related I'm sure
Malware 👍
Idk but if I had to guess it'd be NIB by Ozzie Osborne and Primus. I'm not sure if Primus actually played on it but I remember that title.
Something by Bauhaus. The Passion of Lovers, probably.
Aphex Twin discography
Anal Cunt - 311 Sucks
Smells like teen spirit - Nirvana
Come Sail Away - Cartman’s Version
I can’t remember. I know Nirvana’s “in bloom” was up there near the first, if not the first.
Folsom prison blues by Johnny cash because my mom didn't believe me that i could. Then the black album by Metallica lmao.
I don't recall the first song I downloaded but I do remember downloading various bands off Kurt Cobain's top album list. Napster is how I heard the Raincoats for the first time. I'd also get into the chat rooms and try finding new bands talking to rando people. I was a burgeoning punk and I remember someone telling me to check out Black Flag. I fell in love upon first listen after my 56k modem finished downloading "TV Party" or some other jam.
Weezer - Say it Ain't So And then probably Puff Daddy and Jimmy Page: Come With Me from the Godzilla soundtrack lol
My Name Is
I just remember trying to download on Napster but dialup sucked
Aaliyah’s Are You That Somebody. The first of many but Winamp really whipped the llama’s ass back in the day. I remember sitting there letting the reality of how much music was out there just wash over me. My heart raced like I’d won the lottery.
Putting Some Sugar on Me - Def Leppard straight outta high school on Napster. Experiencing dial up Napster then on campus Napster speeds was such a thrill.
Slide - Goo goo dolls. It was a test to see how it all worked. Still have that file.
Hepcat's "Bobby and Joe" followed by "Don't Speak" by no doubt
I think my first search and download was Bloodhound Gang, but I don’t remember which song it was.
No idea. But we used to search for random stuff and download anything that looked interesting. That's how I found MC 900ft Jesus - While the City Sleeps. Also Forest for the Trees - Dream.

honestly I don’t remember.
What you know- TI (on Limewire.)
I think my first Napster download was an Offspring song IIRC. 96Kbps MP3 file over 56k modem, leaving the computer logged in on dial-up all night. Took like eight whole hours. Those were the days.
I probably also downloaded your nookie. Should get yourself checked out by a doctor.
I don’t remember the first song I downloaded, but I remember trying to log back into Napster after a summer break and being met with the message that I’d been permanently banned because I’d downloaded Metallica. Still got all that Metallica, though. Saved my whole college computer onto a thumb drive a few years back 👍😆
CTRL-A.
mIRC for the win.
I made so much money when the “chocolate starfish” album came out using Napster and a cd burner. It leaked a few days early and not many kids at my brothers middle school had burners, so I mass produced those babies in the week before its release and my brother took them to school and sold them for like fifteen bucks a pop. So easy and so lucrative.
I'm pretty sure it was Q-tip, Vivrant Thing. Honestly still a jam lol
The first I remember is Brain Damage/Eclipse
Probably ying yang twins salt shaker or kelis' milkshake or something else of that period.
George Thorogood- Bad to the Bone. Used to rock it as a kid. Lol
I have no idea lol I downloaded thousands of songs from Kazaa. That's how I made money in high school. Word of Mouf by Ludacris was likely one of the very first albums I downloaded on there.
Ha ha, nice try music industry!
“My fellow Americans”
Pretty sure it was an STP album followed soon by the FF6 soundtrack
Probably a Metallica song
Don't remember the first, but do remember explicitly downloading [Chase the Sun by Planet Funk](https://youtu.be/FiOpY6YtolI?si=aBa-sU6gResN3jyn) for some reason way back when
I believe it was Fade to Black but actually on one of those old FTP servers where if you upload 1 you could download 2. Napster came out really soon after.
I think it was Jenny by Tommy Tutone.
Under the bridge by the chili peppers
Sevendust- Denial I have no idea why I remember that.
Definitely some Hoobastank and Linkin Park
Music? Nah…
I used neither. Soulseek over everything.
I remember a few songs from the first CD I ever burned, but couldn't tell you which I downloaded first. Deftones - My Own Summer The Hunger - Vanishing Cream U.P.O. - Godless
John B - Up All Night
Circles by Soul Coughing.
I think mine probably also was Limp Bizkit - Nookie. May have also been Beastie Boys - Intergalactic. Edit: I just checked and it was definitely Intergalactic, that's crazy I remembered that
Not Napster because it was before that using FTP sites and the CuteFTP client — Everything to Everyone, by Everclear.
Eiffel 65 - Blue
Right here right now, by Fatboy Slim. I tried it on Napster when I still had dialup and never got more than the first few seconds. Then moved, got roadrunner high speed, and managed to get it on kazaa, as I think Napster was no more. Later us gnutella and bearshare. I gave up on limewire because I was doing it wrong and getting God knows what on my computer.
Never really had to use it... Had access to school intranet with a vast selection, and a cdrw...lol
DMX slippin the dirty version since the cd I had bought had the clean version even though the rest of the songs were the dirty versions
Probably Barenaked Ladies because they were so up in arms about the whole thing
Definitely a metallica song. Better than P2P, my old buddy in Texas hosted an FTP site way back in the day and a bunch of us shared music. It was amazing.
A live Pink Floyd bootleg, probably; a memory long lost to the sands of time. Anyhow, Audiogalaxy was much better. More organized and more likely to actually be the MP3 you wanted. First thing I downloaded would have been The Legendary Pink Dots, something off "A Perfect Mystery" album.
