I can remember downloading some FSOL tracks as soon as I realized I could find some rare tracks (Amorphous Androgynous) without spending $35 for the Import CD (if you could find it, that is).

Carbon - Alone ... I think
I remember when my MP3 collection used to be four files at about a dozen megabytes. :) (now 1,238 files, 6.76GB)

TABOO WARNING
I do know for sure what my first warez was. :D
Photoshop 4, in floppy-sized chunks, with a 14.4k modem on an AOL free trial. :p

How can you remember?! well when I first dl'ed it I never thought mp3 would be that big of a deal, would sorta be like midi and rma

When you say first dl'ed song, do you mean mp3 or can it be midi or rma?

If its mp3, I dont remember, it was before the time of napster and I had to find websites to get them

and I dont remember my first midi and rma

Mine was Virtual Insanity by Jamiroquai--in 128kbit glory! Man those were the days... I'm trying to remember the name of the horrid mp3 player we all used back then (this was pre-winamp). The interface was clunky as hell. Can anyone remember the name of it? This was very early 1997.

A live version of American Jesus, by Bad Religion. I was checking out some BR sites and this one guy had a section with some bootlegs in "mp3" format. I was like, mp3??? what is that? This was sometime around '95.

It was a live concert bootleg of a Metallica show, I want to say in stockholm. This was prewinamp IIRC (either that or I didn't know it could convert mp3's to wav's, so I used some strange converter to do it. Burnt it to a CD using a Sony 2x6 burner that took the caddies. I don't even remember what that burner cost, but I know it was quite a bit.
