hahaha I remember that shit. I used "Kazaa Lite", which was not supposed to have spy and malware. Limewire was cool too. But I mainly used Napster.
Omg another WinMX vet? Awesome!
Did you know that the developer behind WinMX has a torrent client named Tixati?
And it is awesome.. I hope they release one for Android..
But yeah when I first downloaded it, I was like hmm.. this is familiar.. it reminds me of WinMX and when I checked the forums, I got my confirmation.. lol
Ironically enough it was the reason I started my forum.. I got tired of dealing with assholes and perverts in my WinMX chat room.. so I started a forum of my own..
And Kazaa Lite was much better than Kazaa but there were still a lot of fake files on there and it was risky to use..

What bitrate are your mp3s?
I am trying to figure out what bitrate I should use for music and nature sounds.
I usually download 320 kbps, but those result in HUGE files. Which is a problem when I put them on my Zen players, because I won't be able to fit as much on them..
I would like to re-encode them at a smaller bitrate, where I don't lose sound quality, while still having a smaller file size.

I haven't listened to those. Sounds like classic rock. hehe
WinMX sounds familiar. Was it a p2p system?
My mp3 bitrates vary a lot. I also have a bunch of "FLAC" songs, which are apparently lossless, but huge file size. I have a 500GB SSD dedicated to just mp3s. With 24,000+ songs, I still have over 150GB free space and they load instantly.
They're labeled as alternative metal. I became an avid Deftones fan when in the 8th grade. I still love their music.
Yep. And as slow as it was on my Shorty dial up connection back in 2002 it was reliable.
On Sundays something magical would happen and my downloads would actually finish..
It was like my downloads folder was blessed by the WinMX gods themselves.. lol
I'm super old fashioned. 
Any music I like, I will buy the album on CD. If I like a song but don't want to buy the album, then I will download it from iTunes. I don't stream music.

nope I just stream stuff currently! but I am thinking about getting myself an mp3 player. like an archaic ipod shuffle or something. 
having to stream music and use my bluetooth earbuds or connect to my car's bluetooth just drains my phone battery a lot when i'm out and about and i'm kinda over it. with youtube premium I have songs downloaded for offline listening but that feature has been very buggy for me.
