/turns in man card

Amazingly though, I still have files from 8 years ago on there..and I don't think I've ever created a backup MP3 CD..

 

[TitanDiddly]

Around 99-2000 I think. It was one of the Matrix themes- 'Clubbed to Death'

Oldest have long been replaced.
Edit: and it is much less claustrophobic out of the closet.

 

[Ketteringo]

Boyz II Men, Backstreet Boys, Celine Dion, Savage Garden, Will Smith, Jewel, Ricky Martin......

You need to do more than just turn in your man card.

Mine only go back to 2003, because that's when I formatted this HDD and copied them all back from CD.

I think I have songs from 1984.. But the actual file date would be around 1999 it was likely Eiffel 65 "blue"

Ha, that came shortly after. I ripped all her songs from her 2nd CD on to my HD

Okay I think I've said enough =x

Edit: Check out 7/26/1999

[Anubis]

im gonna guess 2000

i know i downloaded some in 99 with napster but that wa son a diff computer that lacked a burner and had a sweet 4 gig HDD

 

[40Hands]

omg, most of those songs are horrible.

*stomps your man card into a fine powder*

 

[Linflas]

I have them going back to 1997.

 

[Taggart]

I think I got Dancing Queen off Scour.net back in '98. Probably my oldest mp3.

likewise...

Oldest I have listed is Black Sheep - This or That

 

[meltdown75]

the first mp3 i ever leeched was Usher - You Make Me Wanna. I hadn't even heard of the song before, and I was just testing the whole mp3 thing out with Winamp. 1998 I believe.

 

[dug777]

1999 i think

That is when I got a new computer (November 2000) and i'd lost a lot of MP3s since then...so those are backed up ones. My first MP3s I had ever downloaded would be in 1998. I really started downloading in 1999 - 2000. Now I have 8,000 MP3s. Not a LOT...but a good bit.

 

[Triumph]

September/October of 1997, freshman year of college when high speed internet was a rare treat and mp3's were freely shared on the dorm networks.

 

[Aves]

1997. I started working at an ISP while in high school and had access to a T1.

 

[Leper Messiah]

mid 2004. I reformat way too much. I don't gank MP3s off teh interweb, so my first ones were in...2002? something like that. Ripped them in on a p166mmx took almost an hour a track...

 

[Saint Nick]

i think he might as well have a sex change, too.

but my oldest mp3s were replaced a few years ago when i was doing a hard drive restore. i accidentally erased everything w/o backing up :roll: and so i had to end up downloading a lot of the mp3s i still have today.

so my oldest mp3s are probably 2002-2003.

the ones in the OP are damn old though, almost ten years :shocked:
