The pinnacle of sharing music was Audiogalaxy

I loved Audiogalaxy but Soulseek was the best in its prime. Either way I miss those days. It felt like the whole world was open to sharing.

Fully agree. I discovered Tenacious D though their early bootlegs on AG. The amount of stuff they had available had never been matched.

Oink, what.cd, and the redacted followers, were on a level that commercial streaming will never ever reach.

(The only reason is our absurd, anti-culture copyright laws)

Redacted is still very good. Sadly spotify makes it too easy so I stopped pirating music.

This! A web browser based UI which would trigger downloads in a native download manager is a user experience which is unparalleled to the day!
