Buying our first legal song from the iTunes store.Ī big deal. Why was the aforementioned 50 Cent song's genre listed as Anime? We didn't know, but it simply would not do. When it did, (a true miracle), we'd then spend approximately 12 years finding the correct album art on Google, saving it and uploading it to iTunes. Downloading the album art off Google.īecause, again, we'd spend the evening downloading songs off Limewire then go to bed and pray it would all be done by the time we woke up. This was extremely time consuming, but also absolutely necessary because everything you illegally downloaded from Limewire had a wack file name like 50_cent_in_da_club(dirty).mp3. So when we were logging ourselves in and out to get that guy's attention, he could also see that we were really into the new Metro Station song or had Nelly Furtado on repeat. Image: Twitter.īecause nostalgia makes us feel warm and fuzzy on this cold winter day, we've cast our minds back to remember all the things we used to do on iTunes. Can confirm we do not remember any of these after 2012. Which impacts precisely no one, because everyone moved onto streaming services like Spotify years ago, but it was nice of them to let us know. More than 18 years after iTunes launched, Apple has announced the end of the application. Suddenly, we could buy music legitimately without leaving our homes and/or organise our illegally downloaded Limewire files into playlists and upload them to our chunky yet totally cool and necessary iPods.
Then Apple released iTunes, a media player that changed the game. Remember sending these to your friends on MSN? /0MzJMeygsJ We’d run home from school, ask our mum if she could get off the phone so we could use our dial up internet to log into MSN messenger, where we’d proceed to log in and log out multiple times to make sure our crush really knew we were online and down to send winks to each other (which in hindsight, sounds… inappropriate). We were mourning the loss of Napster, the OG of illegal music downloads, and just getting used to our new friend, Limewire.
