    I pulled down some random ass pop song, and it ended up being some guy noodling on a keyboard playing a half assed version of the cantina song from Star Wars. I set it to my phone’s ringtone. No idea when that mp3 was long, it was a LONG time ago

      I downloaded Rammstein’s Amerika but it was like just one specific verse and chorus repeated. It was really weird. It took my a while to notice because I didn’t know German. My best guess is someone took a free sample of the song from somewhere and edited it so it was longer by repeating it a couple times.

      Also, a few of the Nightwish songs I downloaded had an announcer in the middle of the bridge say something like “You are listening to Nightwish’s new song Blah on the album Once.” Maybe it said something about being able to buy it on iTunes. That one was interesting because it definitely seemed legit. I guess some artists released stuff like that knowing people would steal regardless so they wanted a version with instructions to buy it if you liked it. To this day when I’m listening to those songs I hear the voice in my head when the song gets to those parts.

        I used to have a couple of songs where there was a skip because of an error in the CD rip, now when I listen to the song and the skip is missing I find it jarring

          Same! Yes! I specifically remember one my (then) girlfriend (now wife) made like that. She made me a mix of some songs. I put them on my mp3 player so they had that slip in them on that too. Even on my first smart phone too back before I streamed music.

      I downloaded an Elvis song with a mispelled song title, and for a while I would refer to it as “Quspicious Minds” and sing along
