Maybe for you rich people who can afford $10 for a 256gb ssd.
Kidding aside, I’ve been collecting digital music literally since Napster, and a lot of it is mp3 because storage was a commodity for a long time - getting flacs meant I had better quality of less music.
Now that things are changing, when I want to listen to something old, and I notice it’s a lie quality mp3, I had over to see my cousin Roman. (Was that dude Russian? Does that euphemism work? How about My Friend Vlad or something. Russian torrent sites. I’m talking about Russian torrent sites.)
Holy duck, the days of slsk chat having thousands of people in the channels, having active channels for every genre under the sun - and some that weren’t - those were the days. Straight up chill chat, no chat history, no scoring system, no hierarchies, no gatekeeping - and the only lists of friends you had were private, not like collections your could be evaluated by. The only reputation you could develop was by being an active member of the community - and you were forgotten the day after you stopped posting…
You were judged by how many files were in your share folder, and how well organized it was.
So wait are you saying it’s still alive? Could it return?? Are we taking back the Internet from Facebook and Amazon???
