I have a folder of MP3s, some of which date back to 1999, just a few years after the format was popularised. Most of them have utterly terrible names (think RIDEONAM.MP3). I think at this point they might even survive the heat death of the universe. And they’ll still be terribly-organised.

    I’m old enough to be one of Napster’s early adopters. Unfortunately most of my collection has been lost to either malfunction or negligence but due to most of the major streamers being fucking evil I’m back sailing the musical seven seas. And plus my internet is about 100x faster now so yohoho mehearties.

      I was dipping my toes back in the seas earlier today, but did not find a good option, is there one you like for music other than rutracker which appears very sketch and needs an account?

        Unfortunately, the fish aren’t as plentyful as they were back in the good ol’ days but I’m still finding most of what I want on pirate bay or 1337X. It’s just a case of finding the option with the most reliable seeds.
