Episode 10: Music At Your Fingertips

THExROTCASTx

Before Spotify was actually a thing, we went back to the yesteryears of the tech side of things to try to remember about how we actually get our music.

With 56k Modem at the time, it was still possible but dreadful when thinking about it now. But it was still an adventure in it's own right.

And what about online forums? Online / Social interactions way before Facebook came into a concept.

A different time, a different way of doing things.

Let's just lepak in this one.

==========

Things We Chatted On Are:-

1) IRC, MSN Messenger?

2) Napster, KaZaa, Limewire?

3) Bandcamp

4) Reverbnation

5) Online Forums (Devourment, Metaltronic, Soft.com, Audioreload)

6) Bandcamp as a Vinyl Pressing Plant
