I miss Napster. I came up into music when Napster was peaking and it was excellent. But what really blew up my music collection at first was iTunes' sharing client in a dorm in college. I went to Mizzou for a semester before dropping out, but was a student in the Journalism school while I was there. Everyone had to have a Mac computer in the J-School so we all had iTunes. Within about 15 minutes of setting up my computer on the dorm LAN I realized that I could stream whatever the hell I wanted from all of the connected iTunes profiles. A quick google search found that Apple had not programmed a way to download this songs directly, but that's okay, because someone else had. It was called 1.2.OhMyGod.SwingClient. It was excellent because at a time when most people had dial-up I had LAN access to a library of a jillion songs. So, of course, I deleted all of those as soon as I realized how ethically dubious and criminal I was being.
