It’s amusing how little glitches in old Napster-era MP3 files get stuck in your head. To this day, when I listen to certain songs on Spotify, I expect to hear them!
@chase same but cassettes. In the analog days we recorded every album we could borrow to cassette tape. The pattern of clicks and pops became permanently associated with your favorite songs
@kerryallen You’re totally right. I definitely remember some mix tapes I made by recording songs off of the radio that had clicks, pops, and even little bits of the DJ’s introducing the songs.
