I have several volumes of mixes all with tracks downloaded during this period. I accumulated a large music folder, and began burning all my new tracks to mix CDs.
I copied what the girlfriend showed me, downloaded WinMX, and before you know it, I was listening to “The Blues” by Guns N’ Roses.Īfter everything dried up on WinMX, we both switched to Limewire where I continued downloading the odd rarity. Just the chorus.” Do you know how the verses go? I’ll never forget putting on this mix CD, and suddenly from the speakers it’s “Who Let the Dogs Out”! As the song went on, I remarked “I don’t think I’ve ever heard the verses to this song before. Hey neighbour was using WinMX too, and gave her a mix CD of all the tracks she had downloaded. It was at an old girlfriend’s house and she was showing me how she downloaded music. I still remember the first time using WinMX. I bought so many CDs annually, I figured “why not”? I quickly discovered all the new Guns N’ Roses songs that they played in Rio. Eventually in the year 2001, I relented and began using WinMX and Limewire to download rare tracks. And we weren’t a corporate entity, we were just a small indy chain.
You might not have cared about Lars’ bottom line, but I cared about mine. I’ve never used Napster and I sided with Lars Ulrich when it came down to it. As a Record Store manager, I had zero interest in downloads. I got into the downloading business later than everyone else. RECORD STORE TALES #888: The Limewire Days
