What Was the Very First MP3 You Downloaded?

Posted by Cliff on from the fun-discussion-pieces dept.

Anonymous Coward asks: "I was wondering whether people remember the very first MP3 file they ever downloaded. For me it was Cher's 1998 single 'Believe.' I was at work and, after reading an article about MP3s on CNET, I figured I'd give it a try. I think it's strange that I remember it so clearly. I mean, it's not like it was a first kiss or anything. I started out using WS FTP LE and Winamp. 1000s of MP3s later, WS FTP LE is a distant memory but Winamp is still my player of choice. What about you?"

    I don't normally reply to .sigs, but a "Vote for anyone but Bush" campaign is the surest way to re-elect him.

    And in election news, the winner was George W. Bush, with 40% of the popular vote. Interestingly enough, the remaining 60% was split evenly among 20 different candidates...

    the first file i downloaded was abba's dancing queen. [...] i started with apollo (freeware windows mp3 player whose license only requires you to not be a bigot or homophobe).
    Ah, so that's why you downloaded "Dancing Queen," to comply with the player's license ...
