 So taste in music aside, those are my oldest mp3s. I deployed to Iraq late 2005 and lost all my music collection leading up to that except for apparently the mission impossible theme song, so the oldest mp3 I have is a Limp Bizkit song. What is the oldest mp3 you guys might have?

because of the way file metadata works the earliest date in my collection is 2012, but that was simply the date at which the data was salvaged after a catastrophic backup failure. I've had a continuous library since 2004

Primitive Radio Gods - Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth with Money in My Hand. The Download site was too lazy to type the whole title in, and Google Search wasn't a thing yet  11/16/1997.  The key here folks is to look at the MODIFIED date, not the date created. That will be maintained even over multiple transfers

I don't have any mp3s. I only listen to music in the car and my commute is short enough that I just listen to news. I was an early napster user but lol about caring about music in your mid 30s.

I think for my 16th birthday which would have been around 2001 I was given a brand new 40gb hard drive and it was awesome and i loaded all my music on that and it died within a week and i had no back ups and that was a pretty good lesson.

That is pretty crazy old though because according to google In 1997, Microsoft incorporated MP3 support into its Windows Media Player, and in 1998 the first portable MP3 players began appearing. Brandenburg recalls showing an early Korean-made MP3 device to acquaintances. Even people who weren't gadget freaks were fascinated.Mar 5, 2007

But my sister got a Rio 300 the following winter, so I wasn't the only l337 family member! I was just looking for something to do in the dead of Winter, with a new empty 6GB hard drive, and a school T1 line I remember being fairly pissed at the piss-poor selection on most FTP sites, and the stupid ratios enforced. defaultluser fucked around with this message at 06:38 on Mar 12, 2016 |

that would require me to dig up my Rhapsody account from 2007. i don't even know if Rhapsody is still around. i think it was either "Eat It" by Weird Al or "Smack That" by Akon

I am only posting because I am utterly confused that my oldest .MP3 is ALSO that Primitive Radio Gods track. But mine is from 1998. Pity. I remember my roommate letting me copy it off her. The very first .MP3 I ever had was Blumchen's cover of Queen's "Bicycle" that a dude downloaded to my computer from some German FTP site in 1997, but I was like "pfft I have Mod4Win, why would I want to spend hours downloading .MP3s?" Edit: Stupid MP3Gain, tricking me into ruining the date-modified of almost my entire collection in 2004

I had a copy of Goldfinger - Superman downloaded from Napster kicking around my music collection until recently. That was probably from 99 or 2000. Oldest file goes back to 96 or 97 though. There are still pieces of data on my computer from my parents' first Pentium 75Mhz Win 95 machine. Old school assignments and probably god awful self insert DBZ fanfic.

My first MP3 was Beck - Devil's Haircut that I downloaded back in '98 when I first discovered FTPs and MP3s. Had a pretty rockin' .midi collection before then. Man, I'd love to find that hard drive and see what all sorts of poo poo I was doing at that time. [edit] To those who still actually have their first mp3 on hand, what bitrate is it encoded at and how does it sound compared to a modern rip?

Jesus Christ posted:To those who still actually have their first mp3 on hand, what bitrate is it encoded at and how does it sound compared to a modern rip? 128kbps, surprisingly enough. It tended to be the older files that people had encoded at 96k, newer singles were mostly 128. The quality is good, but then this is a pure pop song with emphasis on bass and vocals. The synth percussion make it easier to encode as well. Compared to the most modern version on Youtube, the bass track is muddy, the bells are a little less noticeable, and the reverb added to the vocal track is lacking. But otherwise the track sounds almost the same, which is exactly what mp3 excelled at! No audible artifacts either, but then this song was easy to encode. I'm pretty sure all my old rock tracks with lots of different instruments will sound like hot garbage, but this one is a stand-out

I think my oldest MP3s were from some group from MP3.com. I think it was called "Aura - Source of Trance" and it was around 2002-ish.

Yup, the fourth track there is Sponge - Have You Seen Mary . It's 112kbps, and you can really tell  The song has a strong bass track, and the ending features powerful percussion. At the beginning the bass track is empty in the mp3 version, and the vocals are missing something too. And after the track turns hard and the percussion enters, it's just a wall of deformed noise. You can't really make out the individual drums doing their thing like you can on the Vevo stream. I'm pretty sure it still would sound bad at 128k.

My first mp3 was The Rockafeller Skank in 1998 and I ripped it myself from a CD I borrowed and compressed it and I was really proud that I figured out how to do that.
