Real talk; nothing will ever compare to Napster

*subs to find out how yall get music now*

AudioGalaxy was better. There was no song or album too obscure to appear on AudioGalaxy.

 

[Don Dada F Poppa]

Cousins had Napster & Kazaa back in the day. He'd push burnt CDs, and show me the wad of cash he'd have at the end of the day

I was late on the wave, but my freshman year of college I discovered torrents.

 

[Deltron]

The experience and witnessing Napster's rise, yes. The service itself? fukk no. Everything after Napster improved upon what it built.

What y'all know about albums being released back in 98 in Real Audio format on angelfire sites downloading the RA files and converting them to mp3s using stream box ripper and then burning it to cd. Yea I'm a vet

You taking me back with that one.

Napster ruined the whole music industry. Now everybody is complaining about the lack of variety and horrible artists and music out today.. Well Napster was ground zero. With that said the music industry shouldve been better prepared for the digital age

 

[The Bilingual Gringo]

Napster was definitely a good look, but I was still on 56K back when it first came out since high speed wasn't totally available everywhere. Setting downloads and leaving the computer to run all night was

But, as far as private joints, OINK was the dopest shyt, there was nearly anything and everything on there, and quality, but the Feds shut that down. Even Trent Resnor from NIN was posting on there and sharing music.

But now, what has been the go to for a minute.

What do yall know about DC and DC++

it didnt have the variety of napster, but having this in a college dorm was

would DL albums and movies in like 30 seconds.


I got on Napster as it was closing out, but it was a powerful era.

Audio Galaxy was the last freely accessible site to have the rarest shyt.

Kazaa was ok, but that shyt used to slow my PC down.

Bear Share and Limewire get the from me. Those were terrible and were infiltrated with viruses and ads.

WinMx was another one. Thats were I first learned that you could see porn for free, and not those 30 second snippets.

I also got the R.Kelly tape off there too.

Ares was the one I used the most.

same here

I still use it from time to time but its slow.

 

[ClemenzaSupreme]

man, fukk Napster, the greatest was Audio Galaxy. There wasn't one song on there I couldn't find the rarest instrumentals, i was making the best mix CD's in 2000/2001 off that bytch.

I co-sign this 100% people slept on Audio Galaxy!

 

[kevm3]

I preferred Audio Galaxy.

 

[sm0ke]

Napster was the shyt. Metallica banned me because my sister wanted this Metallica song

Anybody fukk with Napigator? You'd get to choose which Napster server you connected to. shyt was

Just

edit: After Napster I don't remember if I switched to soulseek or winmx... maybe a bit of both. Or maybe soulseek came later. Not sure. Morpheus was soon after. That was the first that had that GUI that Kazaa, Limewire and Frostwire jacked. Audiogalaxy and Bearshare were wack to me. I think soulseek was the second-best, it had the rare type of shyt that you could find on Napster but none of the other clients. I was like 10-11 just downloading as much as I could on my 56k modem

 

[ZEB WALTON]

audiogalaxy was the best but napster was the shyt yes

 

[1thouwow]

i remember my dad downloading sir mix a lot i like big butts off napster for me, as a teenager i ate good off kazaa tho

 

[Jplaya2023]

audiogalaxy >>>>>>

 

[FukyourFort]

the original napster will never be topped. so many tracks and not a lot of fake bullshyt. i had the unedited dead presidents 1 and some other rare joints.
