> My favorite thing about Napster and LimeWire was when you could find a song, and then BROWSE the hard drive of the person hosting that song.

Soulseek lets you do this and is still going

Soulseek is still going?

I discovered so many artists, international variations of albums, live sessions and bootlegs from that app, it changed my relationship with music.

I have to go back and check it out.

Nicotine+ has existed for at least 15 years. I'm pretty sure it was open source all this time.

while Soulseek has existed for 24 years, I mention it in case GP's use didn't overlap.

Soulseek is definitely still going, and absolutely still captures that feeling GP is talking about :)

Beyond that, and practically speaking, I find it the easiest way to find large, nicely organized discographies. And some not so nicely organized.
