Back in the summer of 1999 while I was in college, we were the first house to use MP3's at our parties. Most houses used a CD disc shuffler which usually consisted of a bunch of scratched and smudged discs, so their music skipped all the time.
We went all digital. We were ahead of our time.
The parties were in the basement. We'd lock the computer up in a spare bedroom - ran the wires and speakers out to the main basement area.
We used Winamp on shuffle.
Hours of music without a single skip, without us having to babysit the music.
Thank-you Winamp for the great memories.
