You ever have a car cd player that plays files? You could put every song you downloaded from LimeWire onto a single disc.

Man limewire got me laid so much.

[-] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 8 points 6 hours ago

I was a Napster guy, then a Kazaa guy. I had moved on to torrents by the time Limewire was the big thing.

Though I haven't actually pirated anything in over 10 years. Was thinking of getting back into it and setting up a Jellyfin to keep some family members from giving money to streaming services that support fascists, but don't even know where to get files anymore. I've already got a VPN for privacy reasons, so I think I'm good there, but I can't imagine Pirate Bay is still a safe source

Pirate bay is still a great source if you use your brain in terms of the types of files you are downloading etc. I get a lot of TV shows etc from there with no issues at all.

That was an amazing time to be alive. I miss it sometimes. No need for a music streaming service when you have 4 gigs of music on one CD. Then If you get bored you can pull out the other CDs that also have stupid amounts of music. Or maybe you burned all of a language learning program onto one disc. ALL of the language discs onto one.

how did you 4 gigs of music on a 700m CD??

[-] UndergroundParking@lemmy.cafe 2 points 48 minutes ago

He probably meant dvd.

[-] LurkingLuddite@piefed.social 2 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

They probably mean the mp3 equivalent of what it would be in wav, since most any CD player that could genuinely care about files could play mp3's. ... Although that could easily get past six CDs on one's worth so... I dunno'!

When I started listening to the harry Potter audiobooks I had the first 4 on tape. They filled a small suitcase.
I got 5 and 6 on CDs, each with ~20-25 CDs.
The 7th book came on mp3 CDs. Just 3 for the whole book. It absolutely blew my mind

[-] prettybunnys@piefed.social 4 points 8 hours ago

I had a 6 disc changer in the trunk AND a head unit that could play mp3s … coolest nerd in the parking lot

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

Could the disc changer play files? If you filled all 6 with files, I think you would have had all of music ever made up until 2004. Which is when I'm assuming you had this car.

[-] prettybunnys@piefed.social 4 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

It was a mk4 Jetta, I had a stupid wiring harness adapter from an Acura spliced inbetween the Bose system and the aftermarket head unit, but … yes.

We discovered the 6 disc changer in the trunk cuz my mom had been driving the car and hated it because she “needed” to use a portable cd player with a cassette adapter. I put a head unit that could handle mp3s and had a usb port, no cd slot because of the 6 disc changer.

Loved that car.

We had so much music at our disposal whole smoking blunts in it

You ever have a car cd player that plays files?

It's pretty common.

My current car can do that (2019 Toyota) with the factory player.

As could every car I have owned in the previous couple decades.
