It could take hours to put together a great mixCD-R, but it helped to be able to burn at 2X!!!

Are we talking pre-napster or post? I remember having to search for FTP sites. Then when having found a song, I had to first upload a song to the FTP just so I could have download credits to download the song. All this on a wicked fast 28.8kbps modem (or maybe it was on my 14.4 with Cadvision).
And then even before that, pre-MP3... when the closest thing you could get was a MOD file that had samples of real instruments on them. It was like a midi file, but better! Wow!
