I remember Audiogalaxy, but cannot remember if it was before, after or basically concurrent with Napster..? Guess couldn’t have been before because Napster was the first right?



Archive.org earliest reference I could find to audiogalaxy satellite is from august 2000: https://web.archive.org/web/20000815233144/http://www.audiog...

While napster's from 1999: https://web.archive.org/web/20000815233144/http://www.audiog...

So, I think you're right. Strangely wikipedia agrees with my first thought... Maybe someone should fix it.

EDIT: audiogalaxy satellite came after napster, but audiogalaxy had a mp3 since at least may 1999.


Almost the same time, Napster was slightly earlier, at least in adoption for me and my friends. Audiogalaxy was better but didn't catch on as much, that's when things really started fracturing.


I used napster in junior college and audiogalaxy at my 4-year, so at least for me, Napster was first, but there was some time when both were around and usable.
