Napster for me, and I downloaded the entire Metallica anthology after Lars Ulrich said what he did.

awww yiss

I remember having a chinese-branded one that could fit abooooout thirty mp3s on it. It had one of those buttons that you could click in all four directions or in the center, but to charge or change the songs on it you needed a really hard to find cable.

By the time I got an Mp3 player like this, the second generation iPod released soon after. 😬

Same, but mine was a silverish Gray colour. Mine had 128MB storage.

There is a song that I can no longer access on an old iPod. It was that song "Better Off Alone" by Alice DJ, but it had like extra songs added into it kinda like a mashup of a few other songs. How I WISH I could go back and download it on Limewire. :(

I still use one of those MP3 players and MP3s of music and podcasts, best way to go for a walk and not have to worry if you're mugged, all they get is a cheap MP3 player!

ah the good old days, where instead of recommendation algorithms you had some guy deliberately adding more popular artists' names to songs so you'd accidentally download them and broaden your horizons a bit

shoutouts to whoever mislabeled Chylinska as Rammstein in 2001 btw, you made me like 5% cooler

I went full circle. Downloaded from Napster back in the day, and now I subscribe to their streaming service. They apparently pay artists better than some of the other streamers, too.

I swear I had this exact model in blue, before going back to SanDisk

That time when seemingly every fucking user-made music video had a high chance of DAE LE EPIC REQUIEM FOR A DREAM blasting away in it. debord-tired
