Audiogalaxy. Was always impressed how easy it was to find 320kbit versions or even some extremely rare songs...

Audiogalaxy was insanely effective at finding related music, due to, basically, human curation. I will always be grateful of having discovered lamb and goldfrapp through it.

Up-voted for dragging Lamb into an HN thread. ;)

Somehow appropriate for a decade old article about 90's vintage desktop MP3 software.

Now go and try to locate rips of episodes of AMP from MTV and complete your electronica collection.

(OT) I discovered goldfrapp by watching Hard Candy. Awesome movie.

I remember audiogalaxy being the first web interface I saw that made use of ajax--clicking on the download buttons next to songs, not having the page refresh, and immediately viewing source to try to discover what wizardry this was.

Will we ever see something as good as it again? It would be tricky, but surely not impossible.
