Link. He come to town. Gonna save – the Princess Zelda! Ganon put her awaY! Now the children don’t play! But they will, when Link save the day !
My experience:
Everything by Muse labelled as Radiohead
Everything by Radiohead labelled as Muse
Everything that sounds remotely nu metal labelled as Linkin Park
“That downloaded rather fast!” was a prelude to “oh no, computer is dead”
There was a song I had labelled Linkin Park that wasn’t… it was a cool song but I don’t remember enough to search for it any more.
Was it the demo of Trapt’s Headstrong? Everyone said that was by Linkin Park back in the day
Nope but I do remember this one.
I had this song by “Korn” in my music library: https://youtu.be/A9pRZoITnvo
Bring me to life by Evanescence was also often labeled as Linkin Park

Fucking nowhere, get in , we’re installing macromedia_flashMX_keygen.exe and learning ActionScript instead of JavaScript to derail our careers by about a decade.
child me taught myself a functional amount of actionscript in like 2008-9 and all i got for my trouble was a couple flash games and a massively decreased interest in game design as a career.
i also learned a bunch of batch and VBS, whole lotta fucken good those are doing me.
a massively decreased interest in game design as a career.
This is worth a lot though. It takes many people a few years of their life, a burnout and a lot of mental healthcare to get to this point.
Are you trying to tell me that there was a point I was allowed to quit?
God the actual fucking wasted youth. Just learn something slightly different and you’d make gazillionaires look like bums.
and at this point everyone i ask in person is just like “ask gpt for help” and that’s NOTHING

I never used LimeWire I’m not old enough for that, what is it that people remember so fondly about it anyway? Was there something that made it special or is it just another torrent client?
FWIW Limewire was not a torrent client, at least not for a long time.
The Napster era of P2P file sharing used centralized servers for indexing and querying the content available: it was a much simpler system than torrents, but much less robust.
So your torrent search site and your torrent client were essentially bundled together within a desktop app. Again simpler: you could just tell someone what program to download and they were off to the races. Great for word of mouth when the web was still underdeveloped.
What came up when you searched was essentially whatever was in the shared folders of whoever happened to be online at the time. So it was even more of a wild west with essentially no moderation.
Overall worse than torrents in almost every way, but it was a fun weird time to be online. I personally went from Napster to KaZaA to Limewire before ultimately moving on to torrents.
LimeWire was based on Gnutella protocol, which was actually the first major P2P file sharing protocol. The file discovery was completely decentralised. But yes, way simpler and less robust than BitTorrent.
The best thing about limewire was downloading “stupify” by Disturbed. Hitting play and it’s some random song you have never heard before that absolutely slaps.
Or random wrong names songs then years later you go to a concert and hear random band number 2 playing and it’s their song you got from lime wire years ago
The best thing about limewire was that it allowed downloading of video files and it became prevalent just as I became pubescent.
Morpheus was a fantastic successor.
I feel like it was a similar experience in the earlier days of torrenting. Nowadays it still happens but only from less reputable torrents. Though also it’s been years since I ever torrented music. These days almost everything is online for download or can be downloaded or captured from a streaming service.
Oh so it wasn’t really torrenting, just similar.
Exactly. Torrenting is just so much more powerful that it’s become synonymous with file sharing as a whole.
Seems pretty similar to how Soulseek is today.
Prior to LimeWire you kind of mostly had to go to a physical store to buy a physical medium, or you “pirated” music onto blank tapes or CDs and swapped them with your friends. Shopping from home for (free) music was a game changer.
Is that actually true? I mean maybe I’m wrong about this, since I wasn’t there but I’ve heard usenet was a thing even before limewire.
What about techno_song?
