Limewire.

Dude limewire was great. Nice logo, good color scheme, had pretty much everything. Other things have just gotten better in some ways, and worse in others. (Torrents are often way better quality, but it was nice being able to search limewire vs. searching the web and wading through sketchy torrent sites).

Mind you downloading things on limewire could be sketchy too

Yes for sure! But if you didn't download executables or other files that could contain code, you were usually ok.
The crazy thing about it is people got digital music from all kinds of sources back then - mix CDs, recordings, etc, and would create the title/artist/album tags by hand, so you'd see all kinds of wrong information.
Like you could probably download "Dancing in the Moonlight - Van Morrison.mp3" on limewire, but really you'd be getting either "Moon Dance" by Van Morrison, "Dancing in the Moonlight" by King Crimson, or rarely, something else entirely.
