Winamp is an Mp3 (and other audio/video file) player. It's also still around.

I still use it.

SoulSeek would be the client I've found as good as Audiogalaxy. Not that I use that stuff, of course.

Aye. In my admittedly limited experience, I always found it to have the most decent range of music, like AG.

First came across winamp late 97 when i started working in a pc company.
Was amazed by the few songs on the pc as I'd never thought of this before.
Within about 2 weeks I discovered mp3.com and boom..I was hooked.
Remember about 3 years ago I discovered my old pc down in a tech's lab and lo and behold all the old songs were still on it.

Somehow I doubt the majority of stuff being shared on rapidshare is legal.

i routinely max out rapidshare storing my word documents and excel files.. they ad up to alot of gig very fast.

I vaguely remember it being horrible..

The media payer arms race is getting out of control here.

I used to use WinAmp. I use Media Player Classic now. Neat and basic and none of the rubbish that comes with some of the other players. I am looking at you WMP.

I clearly remember it being great! When Kazza came out it was almost identical. Even Limewire now has a very similar interface to Scour back in 99/2000. Had more files then Napster at the time too as it wasn't just audio.
I've blocked out of my mind how long a file took to download though:D

That makes me on disability a rampant genius i guess. He gets people to pay thousands for PC's that ensure everyone gets a Windows Logo amd a big Tarahh wave just so they know Windows makes computers work. Then like a proper Gob****e he decides to give the bulk of his wealth away and recieves millions of letters from users of his software. Absolute Fool:eek:

I started off with Audiogalaxy - guaranteed clicks and pops in all your MP3s! Remember the day they went legit - over 6 years ago now

But who needs filesharing any more when Zavvi are selling albums for about €4?

Rsaeire

I couldn't see any mention, but who remembers Kazaa? God I used to love getting a new virus every other day. :rolleyes: P2P was riddled with viruses back then.

Why would you download anything by those tossers, legally or otherwise? Then again, they did give Myleene Tits'n'Ass her first big break so I suppose we should be grateful.

I used soulseek a lot back in the day but I wouldn't have the patience for anything other than rapidshare now.

Ah downloading prOn. You would wait till the shoulders in the pic loaded. Any straps, cancel the download. Took around 10 mins per image.

Me - Woah, I downloaded 1.5MB today. Loads of porn
Friend - Cool. Anything good?
Me - Yeah, loads of great pics
Friend - Can I have a copy?
Me - Ill have to delete some to fit in on the disk.

Ah, them were the days.
