Napster (IMHO) is that it was really all that you could use so everyone
was on it. Now, there are so many programs with their own network, it
makes it hard. And Kazza is useless. Unless you want to download
spam/porn

AudioGalaxy was my favorite service back in the good ol' days. I found
so much interesting stuff that you could never, ever find on disc
anywhere. Concert bootlegs, obscure b-sides, I even found some old
bluegrass MP3's that someone had pulled off of 78 RPM records.
Wonderful stuff.
