Limewire was the bomb as well. For more information, please watch the Christian Rock episode of South Park.

God I remember my older sister and I wanting to listen to the newest Red Hot Chili Peppers album and finding it on Limewire and immediately downloading it, putting it on her iPod and putting it on the speaker dock so that we could dance around the house

MySpace was closer to streaming than Napster. Napster was just were you pirated music, not listen to it.

It is hard to believe how long it took to shut them down IMO.

In the 90s I would download live DJ performances … things that weren’t commercially available. Effectively it was like a fully unmonitized podcast service. Top artists would show up and spin a 1-4 hour set that wasn’t ever going to be sold.
I genuinely miss searching for an artist. Finding someone who has their stuff. Then being able to search that person’s library. It was an outstanding way to get exposed to new music.
It was like looking through a person’s hard drive at their favorite music! Find a person with overlapping taste in music and pull it all down and see what sounds good!
