My MP3 folder has miraculously escaped various data loss catastrophes. There's a lot of stuff I've had probably as long as that or longer but it tends to get retagged over the years if I actually listen to it.

I was just wondering why Blumchen was in your old collection, too...then I thought about how the .MP3 was created in Germany and suddenly it started to make more sense.

"Kleiner Satelit" was the song my friend was trying to find to download when he got me "Bicycle Race" instead. The things we remember about computing ~19 years ago.

Why did burned .MP3s in the 1990s have those weird pops and things in them? Was it the software or the CD-drives? Both? And why was there that one magical program that could get rid of them (usually) without ruining the song? Why? Why, 1990s?

I'm sure there's at least a few files on there from 2000 but I don't know which ones they are any more and I'm sure that info hasn't been stored by my shitbox.

My download of Blood on the Tracks had those blurps through two of the songs and every few years I would redownload it to try to get rid of that poo poo but the files I would find would be clones of the exact same one with the exact same blurps. This situation wasn't fixed until 2016.

There are a few songs I heard with those sounds so often that I am sad when I hear them on the radio and they are free from such blemishes.

Also are you like still using KaZaA in 2016 or something

does it still play just the same? a 19 year old MP3 lol

One of my older MP3s, which dates from 1999 has a nasty four second glitch about a minute in. So much for the RIAA's "digital copies are perfect!"

I actually have a bunch that are older, and my earliest date from 1994, as I remember explicitly copying them to audio cassette to play in the car that summer.

However, according to Windows/iTunes, my oldest created date is 2007 and my oldest modified date is 2005.

Too lazy to boot up the required machine for this but I know I still have poo poo I got from Napster when it was "good". I'm amazed I could find any of the stupid nerdy bullshit I wanted then at all. i remember getting a bunch of tracks off some Japan only Gunsmith Cats album, who the hell ripped that and was sharing it on Napster back then, holy gently caress. Anime was barely a thing yet. I got a copy of Yume no Naka e and no idea wtf it was / was from but I liked it so I kept it all this time. Also lots of Blues Brothers for whatever reason. All comedy songs on Napster were tagged as Weird Al no matter how clearly not him they were.

I also remember getting some new PC that ran WinME and for whatever reason the only song I had at the moment on it was Magic Carpet Ride.

If I rmb and find it, I had an old Walkman that let you put MP3s on it and it had some ancient goth techno song on it. Maybe a remix of a depechemode song? Idr

I'm pretty sure the first MP3s I downloaded were off of the college FTP network and chosen based on a road trip tape that my dad made that was mostly electro 80s stuff so maybe it was Mexican Radio or One Night in Bangkok but I only really kept albums eventually so I'm not sure what remains.

The FTP network was good enough that I only got napster after it was already really well known but it was a big step up and I should have done it sooner. I wish it still existed as it was even if that meant that today it was basically a botnet distribution device for Russian credit/identity thieves.

Trying to find it, but my files are a mess.

The first MP3 I downloaded is from the first half of 1997, if not earlier. I downloaded "Wu-Tang Clan Ain't Nuthing Ta gently caress Wit" as an MP3 before Wu-Tang Forever came out. It was an amazing 96kbps.I remember downloading some weird app named Radioactive Player. Ah, the days when Real Media reigned supreme.

Hell if I can remember what PCAJ stood for, or even what the real title of this song is. All I know is that it's a little over a minute long and it was used when an old web animation series made a JRPG parody. I'm actually a little mad that I've been reminded of my terrible tastes.

As for the rest of the mp3s I have around this time period, imagine a bunch of badly recorded video game music downloaded from questionable sources, with the occasional smattering of anime.

The person can drink sake for the following five reasons. First of all, for the national holiday. Moreover, it fills with the nectar. Finally, for reasons. Next, to heal the dryness of the place. After that, to refuse the future
Fun Shoe

For repetitive songs (beats), it just makes you hear the repetitious parts over and over, because that's where the vast majority of the random path breaks are, and they usually loop back on themselves.

For standard pop songs with too much variation this just jumps from one refrain to another. So boring.

And it doesn't work very well with heavily instrumented songs.
