haha, yes it was a bit of a underground thing.

From 2002 to 2006 I was listening mostly JRock only.

First we used Kazaa to get the music, since it wasn't sold in my country.

Later most people switched to Soulseek.

Was pretty nice... a bit like IRC. Only that the chat was rather bad.

Also the global search sucked, so you had to browse every person in the chat yourself.

But this made it also a bit more social, hehe.

My favorite was always Audiogalaxy but yeah, Soulseek really filled a niche before you could find a lot of stuff legally on Amazon or even eBay if it wasn't sold in stores.
