This was cutting edge tech... I remember the excitement of replacing floppy discs with CDRs...

Everytime I see limewire I feel left out.
Where are my Kaaza hommies at??
Napster!
What's crazy is that none of the other P2P apps that came after ever had as nice of an interface as Napster. I guess that's cause Napster compiled Mac and Windows native apps while most other P2P apps were Java jars.
Here!
Kazaa, Kazaa light, WinMX, DC++. I used them all.
Where are my eMule fuckers at?
That donkey was the goat.
Emule/Edonkey
Yup
No SoulSeek fans here?
That's the modern napster IMO.
Just a shame it's hard to automate.
What do you want to automate with it though?
Isn't slskd enough?
What's slskd?
I just want to send a list of music and download it automatically, with a specific bitrate, regexed or if-checked for "cover", "instrumental" etc.
It's a soulseek deamon which you can control with for example a Webinterface.
So for your usecase you probably need to script those checks yourself.
How did the progression go? Napster, Morpheus, Kazaa, Limewire?
I mean sure, if you just want to skip Bearshare
And Audiogalaxy. And WinMX.
EDIT: And DCC bots on IRC.
gnutella, surely!!
I like how Justin Frankel created something to help you get stuff to really whip the llama's ass with :)
Where did DC++ fit in?
My user name stands for KaZaA Lite User 9.
Slsk (Soulseek) was far superior. It was the best for getting full albums and leaked stuff. If you found someone with a fast connection and thick library it was like gold.
Shoutout to everyone that got Modest Mouse’s We Were Dead album with “Mike Jones” randomly played in the background.
Slsk is still around today and people swear by it.
Because it's pretty much under the radar of the industry and you can find all kind of music there. Is nice.
