I remember back in the day (6 yrs or so) when it was easy to make my play list with Audio Galaxy by just taking files from other users and dragging them into my list. It was certainly an easier way to get music fast and free for that matter. I have never made CD's with my list but just listened to it on my computer while at work. I have always bought CD's until I realized that I could burn them from my friends who had the CD. It was the whole "peer to peer" concept that I was not so aware of until the the music industry targeted Napster. When that ordeal occurred, my playlist from audiogalaxy became obsolete and I was aware of how illegal it was to download music from other files.
Though very convenient, FREE, and still in existence, illegal downloading has become more apparent among teenagers and college age students. I could understand where the music industry was coming from when record sales had dropped, but people today are looking for expediency and a way to save money.
