Hearing a song that you've downloaded playing on the radio, surprised it didn't skip in that one spot
There was a pirated copy of "We are the Champions" by Queen circulating LimeWire and Kazaa circa 2003 that's given a generation of people mental whiplash.
Some hooligan thought it would be funny to splice/cut/edit "of the world" at the end of the song, so it concludes with "We are the champions" (jump cut / obvious splice) "of the wooooorld."
There's entire threads out there dedicated to finding that copy of the song because millions of people have heard it, but no one makes the connection between the hostile actors modifying those songs and sharing them on file-sharing applications versus the originals.
There were also numerous garage band covers circulating around also - "Smells like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana was a popular one to hear in extremely low quality with someone banging spoons or something.
Naz remembers.

To this day my brain still jams in neutral when I don't hear a skip at the end of Guerilla Radio the last time Zach says "now"

Why did Toto load up their music with malware? I tried to listen to this just now, but all I got were 23 toolbars in my IE5!
Getting so many songs by the wrong artist.
I had headstrong_linkinpark.
I could never find it on their albums.
Years later find out its by Trapt instead haha
Can't think of a one hit wonder band with a more bigoted piece of shit as the front man. Dimly lite souls, the entire lot.
I spent way too much time back in the day updating metadata of music, renaming them, etc
Same here. I had my iTunes library meticulously organized. Finding mp3s, downloading them, importing them, then updating the metadata.
And now I just use Spotify lol
I still do all this shit. I'll never switch to those DRM infested subscription services bullshit
But the file names were not as ordered and consistent like this, they were all over the place. Most of them did not even have proper meta data so I had lots of songs by "unknown artist". Creating playlists within a music player was a mess, you basically had to sort and play songs via the file system
Waiting 30 minutes to download a song just to hear someone’s bad Bill Clinton impression saying “my fellow Americans…”, the best of times and the worst of times
Wait. This rings a bell, was there also an Arnold Schwarzenegger impression on this mp3?
Core memory unlocked! The anticipation of waiting for the download to complete and then hear something absolutely wrong was frustrating but I look back at it now and can't help but laugh.
I had a copy of Are You Gonna Be My Girl by Jet that would cut out and loop back in the middle of the song. I listened to it so much I could sing along without missing a beat. Then whenever I heard the right version, it always felt weird when the song flowed through normally.
Left my computer on for 2 days to download a movie and it turned out to be porn.
Porn you could watch or a wmv file that opens a website asking for payment?
Porn I could watch. However being prepubescent at the time I was shocked rather than interested.
I had that EXACT same red one. Man that rubber got really nasty feeling once a year in
please use a dash between artist and song name you uncivilized person!
As someone who had one of these, I'm just surprised there's any consistency at all
You Forgot the classic
metallica_nothing_else_matters.mp3.exe
It's on there but mislabeled as one of the others.
Nobody got time for that, everyone was happy listening to Unknown Artist - Unknown track
Hmm why is this song I downloaded only 35KB?
Alien_Ant_Farm-Smooth_Criminal.mp3.exe
Yeah not gonna click that

I have my old fat iPod classic in my car now. I found an iPod Jack in the arm rest and went searching through my old tech drawer to dust it off. It's got so many bangers on it, but sometimes it just cuts out halfway through a song, waits for 30 seconds and starts the next one up, always when you're just getting into it
Every radio DJ with a comedy song bit had their songs labeled as “Weird Al” on all the file sharing networks.
Such misattribute Weird Al classics like:
“My Fart Will Go On” “Pet Names for Genitalia” “Ugly Girl” And the best one…”Toast”

I still have mine. Found it last weekend in my parents' attic. Nostalgia ultima!
This, but with an iPod and YouTube to mp3 because I am a 2000s zoomer
I had some little grey box of an mp3 player in the late 90s that held like roughly one or two smallish albums. I remember one day finding a recording of my gym teacher trying to figure out how it worked for like five minutes after unknowingly pushing the record button.
I had one of these in college. It was a good little player. Reasonably inexpensive. One end was a cap that came off and was a full size USB, so that you didn't need to carry around cables.
I'm not going to tell you how long it took me to figure out that the hold switch made the storage mount as read only when plugged into a computer.
Mine was full of power metal. I don't know if it's just my brain deleting all the bad stuff, but it feels these times were so much better idk ..
