Did you discover a lot of music from p2p programs back in the day?

I’m not promoting using them because I don’t want the thread whacked.
I feel like those programs really expanded my musical tastes. I’d find all sorts of things that I never would have before by downloading something I’d never heard of and bam I had a new favorite band. Kazaa was how I discovered Mogwai and loved them and bought all of their albums for instance.
What were your favorites? I never used Napster, I think that happened right before I really got into it. Direct Connect was cool. Limewire. And then torrents were the game changer. Oinks Pink Palace. indietorrents. Lots of good stuff

Used Napster kazaa and limewire. And unfortunately no I didn't use them to branch out my musical tastes, it was all very directed. If there was 1 song I liked I would just download it.

I got a lot of live material that wasn't available anywhere else at the time via Napster and audiogalaxy. A lot of live Afghan Whigs and govt mule.

Kazaa and limewire was in its heyday when I was in middle school and starting high school. It was a pretty formative time for developing tastes. I think it had pretty big role. What was bigger was when I got a little older and we used to rip all of our cd's onto one of my friends computer and then the iPod stuff got big and we would share tons of music with the mp3 players. Nowadays I have access to more music than I would have ever comprehended just through Spotify. Though spotify doesn't have some of the more obscure tunes and artists that I liked. It still does a great job of having the bulk of anything I could consider.

At Tech we all shared downloaded stuff over the Ethernet. Lots of music, movies, porn, etc on there. Dude named rex kind of had a directory or it all to manage it.
