Do you remember the first mp3 you ever downloaded?

I have some ideas, but I am really not sure.. hmm

I could potentially remember this eventually.. I used only FTP at the time.. on my 33.6 modem.
 
Probably Boston - More Than a Feeling. From Napster, of course. That was before the days when they were blocking Metallica stuff, so I'm sure I got some of that shortly thereafter, too. 🙂
 
i downloaded a backstreet boys song from mirc. i had no idea what was a good or bad speed. i just thought it was cool that i was downloading a song. i must've been getting like 500bps... becuz the thing took FOREVER to finish... probably like 4 hours 😱
 
Usher - You Make Me Wanna

i have no idea why i remember that, but i think i got it from the very early napster days.

It was most likely Unforgiven II by Metallica.. I was banned like 6 times for downloading Metallica 🙂

Ahh, those were the days....I still remember my first banning for having songs from both Metallica and Dr. Dre. That must have been around 5 or 6 years ago when i got my first mp3. The funny thing about it is, i remember reading an article about mp3's and being like "ehhh, it sounds nice, but i dont think i'll be getting into that anytime soon". Now, here it is, 10000 songs later...😎
 
Eminem - Slim Shady
Back from the good ole Napster days and when 128kBits was popular. I can not live without 320kBits encoding 12kBits hurts my ears!!
