Mp3.com closedown was a disaster. So much valuable music was there.

Like the few on here who remember how great mp3.com was, I too lament the loss of its huge array of excellent indy music. Hopefully the archive will be fully restored some day[0,1,2]. Digital antiquities indeed.
Take warning: download and archive a copy of every digital asset you care about. I highly recommend the excellent utility youtube-dl[3]. I rely on it daily for copying obscure youtube videos that could disappear at any moment. Fool me twice...
