Napster launched in June 1999. It shut down in July 2001. It was a short run but I don't think a lot of young people were spending $10 on an album.
This isn't wrong - I was there using Napster, and I was one of the lucky ones with a Mac so my computer was immune to most viruses.
What was the other one that was really good... its symbol was a satellite... Found it: Audiogalaxy.
And, for the longest time, it was also Limewire... lol...
But yeah, I still did buy CDs because I also felt like it was a lot more common to not be able to find stuff you wanted...
Or, the funniest thing ever: downloading "Sex Pistols" but it's just a Billy Idol song. IDK why that would happen but it did.
