No, not THAT first time.

The first time you downloaded an MP3. Can anyone remember what song (or album) it was?

I know not everyone here got into the MP3 craze early, but I thought it'd be interesting to see if anyone can remember what their first MP3 was.

Mine was "Naked Eye" by Luscious Jackson from 1996. I was on IRC and an XDCC bot was offering that song, along with six or seven MP3's. The record had just come out and the single was just getting airplay on the radio stations near my school. It probably took me a half hour to download it (along with WinPlay3 from the same bot) on my dialup modem.

I have to admit that at first I didn't really see the big deal until the players got better (WinPlay3 sucked up all my system's resources to the point where if I ran anything else it would stutter.) Little did I know what it would bring about!
