Found out about this from this thread, KeyGenMusic.net is the archive.org of keygen music. It's if you want the "pure" keygenmusic experience by playing the tracker files directly: http://keygenmusic.net/ And I use XMPlay to play the music: http://www.un4seen.com/ What I kinda dig about the tracker files is that they take up very little space. A little under 5,000 songs takes up about 600MB.

On the music thing, what is the best player for mp3 collections? I've got files from before napster, audio galaxy and soulseek right up to now - so quite a library. I've been on winamp for over a decade - but heard good things about foobar and mediamonkey?

XMPlay is my player of choice but I don't have an organized library on it.

I should probably clarify my needs. If it's album it's structures by folder per album. I wouldn't mind cover art linking. Multiple playlists in a list aside from main library. So many of my files have hosed ID3 tags from previous programs so something that scraps that data would be nice too.

I love my Sonos. It's loving pricey, but when I bought my new house I splurged and bought a whole system. I don't run ANY music off my PC now, it's all on a NAS in the basement that the Sonos can access. All of my other tech requires endless configuring/puttering around with, but the Sonos just works.

If your MP3s are from before napster, they are probably poo poo quality and you should get new ones.

I have MP3 files that I initially got more than 15 years ago. I have no idea where I would even begin to look for them if I wanted to replace them today. I mean they have been copied from old harddrive to new a couple of times so they're not the same, but they're the same!

Bricked my unbackedup hard drive in 2014 and now I have basically no collection. 12 gigs lost, like tears in the rain. A lot of it is stuff that probably no longer available, like album releases from Musician's Lounge or poo poo like the Geno cult album from the Habbo raiding days. It was what pushed me into building up a vinyl library, but I only have like 20 albums so far due to being a cheap bastard.

XCOM 2 War of the Chosen is an expansion. From his reviews Sims content is only a step or two away from being horse armour.

I am not going to lie, though I think the idea of nostalgia for early poo poo quality .MP3s is weird, I also would rather hear memorable 1990s television commercial jingles in terrible quality like I finally managed to tape them off my local FOX affiliate. O. K. and I just thought of Vaporwave. Oh no. I am ruining music

Early MP3s with bad encoding sounded like they were being replayed in a tin can so unless you had Terminator ears there's no way anyone is missing that noise. You can't even hide behind the bad Colour/Flavor/Warmth/Fullness audiophile BS.

Before my MP3 collection it was midi. I think my go to site was Fresh Midis which soon went down from a copyright claim. Back then trying to play an MP3 on a Pentium 90 while trying to use word was impossible without stuttering. There's a great book called how music got free that details the story of music filesharing.

I don't miss the noise, but when I hear my old MP3s it reminds me of the lovely quality stuff I copied off everyone's public Windows shares in college, or got off Napster. Funnily enough, if you compare the number of songs I downloaded to the number of songs they inspired me to legally purchase on CD, I think the record companies ought to be pretty happy. Don't people also get nostalgic about listening to songs on AM? Not "I dislike high fidelity stereo", just "I remember hearing this song in mono through lovely speakers on the way to..."

There was a point where I'd download MP3s to the PC at the call center where I worked, put them on a 100MB Zip cartridge connected to my manager's computer, and take 'em home, where I had no internet access, but a functioning parallel port Zip drive (which I still own and have not fired up in about 20 years). I had a copy of Metallica's Enter Sandman with a loud BLIP about halfway through that I still anticipate on the rare occasions I actually hear that song nowadays. On another topic, watching any Techmoan video reminds me of how I will never jump on any format bandwagon, no matter how studied and precious it might appear in the moment. Back to low quality audio sound, Sleepbot still uses the Netshow codec to broadcast its feed: http://sleepbot.com/ambience/broadcast/faq.html#BANDWIDTH quote:What's with the super-low-end 56kB bandwidth? In my college days I'd record the stream with a Winamp plugin, copy the 56k MP3's to a 128MB iRiver player with a program that would randomize copying to such a device, and listen to them while studying. I guess that was my version of listening to a Vaporwave YouTube thing on a smartphone. doctorfrog has a new favorite as of 08:47 on Aug 27, 2017 |

I still have all my old mp3s from the napster days, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I tried getting a few of them in modern versions, but they just sound wrong to me. One of them was ripped buy a guy who had AOL instant messenger on in the background. The door-shutting sound when one of your friends logs off plays during the bridge of the song, and I always listen for it when I play that song.
