September 2000 - Eurythmics Sweet Dreams 128k MP3 downloaded from Napster
You're not on the same machine, are you? That would be legendary.
That was many, many PCs ago. I kept rolling my HDDs or data over depending on what was upgraded, now my downloads are living on my NAS. One day for shits and giggles I wanted to see what the oldest file I had was, and sure enough I still had a Napster download.
It interests me that you did it in such a way that the download folder stayed the same. I have something more like this going. (Honestly it's even worse because my top layer is like a physical drawer somewhere)
I took a little liberty with what “downloads folder” meant. It’s not in my root downloads folder, it’s sorted out into a music folder. It was a download though.
I’m just pretty impressed I managed to keep my music library going continuously for 24 years. 20 of those years are just single HDD no redundancy storage, just hopping HDD to HDD.
Is it the same computer? Or just the same directories? Or do you just use your Downloads folder like a normal directory for storing stuff?
