Hearing a song that you've downloaded playing on the radio, surprised it didn't skip in that one spot

Those don't hold a candle to Track05-UnknownArtist

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 spent way too much time back in the day updating metadata of music, renaming them, etc

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

But the file names were not as ordered and consistent like this, they were all over the place. Most of them did not even have proper meta data so I had lots of songs by "unknown artist". Creating playlists within a music player was a mess, you basically had to sort and play songs via the file system

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.

Left my computer on for 2 days to download a movie and it turned out to be porn.

I had that EXACT same red one. Man that rubber got really nasty feeling once a year in

please use a dash between artist and song name you uncivilized person!

Hahaha I remember using LimeWire and Bearshare.

Man I'm old.

You Forgot the classic

03 track 3.mp3

Alien_Ant_Farm-Smooth_Criminal.mp3.exe

Limp Bizkit - Nookie (cookie monster version)

you forgot about sex_pistols_never_mind_the_bollocks.exe

Every radio DJ with a comedy song bit had their songs labeled as “Weird Al” on all the file sharing networks.

Such misattribute Weird Al classics like:

“My Fart Will Go On” “Pet Names for Genitalia” “Ugly Girl” And the best one…”Toast”

I have my old fat iPod classic in my car now. I found an iPod Jack in the arm rest and went searching through my old tech drawer to dust it off. It's got so many bangers on it, but sometimes it just cuts out halfway through a song, waits for 30 seconds and starts the next one up, always when you're just getting into it

You could use LimeWire to get LimeWire Pro. Good times.

I still have mine. Found it last weekend in my parents' attic. Nostalgia ultima!

I feel old

I feel so HECKING old

I had some little grey box of an mp3 player in the late 90s that held like roughly one or two smallish albums. I remember one day finding a recording of my gym teacher trying to figure out how it worked for like five minutes after unknowingly pushing the record button.

Mine was full of power metal. I don't know if it's just my brain deleting all the bad stuff, but it feels these times were so much better idk ..

I had one of these in college. It was a good little player. Reasonably inexpensive. One end was a cap that came off and was a full size USB, so that you didn't need to carry around cables.

I'm not going to tell you how long it took me to figure out that the hold switch made the storage mount as read only when plugged into a computer.
