What Was you first ever MP3 Download?

Post by FormatC »

Mine Was Everlast - What it Like.mp3 i think some time back in 1999-2000 on a crappy P133 with a 28.8 KBS Modem (Serial External) one file took 4 hours of course I had to pick a 320 KBS file even though I knew nothing about MP3 at the Napster time (I did not know what a kbs was at the time I just picked the file with the most users)
Computers are a lot like air conditioners - they both work great until you open up windows.

Wow, I cant actually remember! (Maybe I'm getting old :P) I have a horrible feeling that it was a really bad song too!

LOL... no clue... but it would have been through file sharing on the college campus network around September 2000.

I think it was "The Final Countdown' by Europe. I remember listening to it about 20 times and going from really loving the song to absolutely despising it. That was a looonnnnng time ago though.
