honestly it was a dogshit with shitty rips and mislabeled files, but the RIAA's crackdown gave truly amazing BitTorrent sites where obsessive nerds got their chance to shine with their painstaking care to have quality rips, tagging, etc. and music fans could easily get rare and OOP albums

It was popular because MP3 sites kept getting taken down and it was much harder to shut down a P2P sharing service.

I agree that the mislabeled files sucked, but I probably wasn't the only one who got some amusement out of seeing just how many at school thought System of a Down did a Zelda song.
