your oldest and your oldest mp3s
inspired by Bloomers' CD thread, which I didn't want to derail.
It seems many of you are mature enough to like "older music" when others would dismiss it purely on the grounds that they can't possibly like something their parents did. So...
1. what is your oldest* mp3?
2. what was the first** mp3 you ever downloaded?
*excluding classical, that's for another thread
**maybe look at date modified in the folder?
-----
I thought mine would be Bobby Darin - Mack the Knife, or Sheb Wooley - Purple People Eater, which are both late 50s, until I noticed "Laurel and Hardly - Trail of the Lonesome Pine" which was a chart hit in 1975 (apparently) but from a 1937 film
First MP3 I ever downloaded (good old Napster) was Soundgarden - Black Hole Sun.

Re: your oldest and your oldest mp3s
I think the MP3 I ever had was something that I encoded from a CD. It was before CD rippers, so I had to save the file in Cool Edit and then encode using one of the Command Line programs.
I think it was a Nirvana song, although I don't recall. I don't buy CD's so it would have been a friends.
I've no idea which I downloaded first, I didn't download much music when I was on dial-up, I stuck to CD-ripping (downloads were for warez). Either way I've lost the file many HDDs ago. I recently lost 60-80GB of MP3s
I don't know which is the oldest (release date) of my songs, although of the ones I listen to regularly probably "Sixteen Tonnes" by Tennesse Ernie Ford. And is incidentally, utterly brilliant.

Re: your oldest and your oldest mp3s
I have a 13th-Century Medieval tune.
The oldest MP3 I have is possibly "Beheaded" by the Offspring - but I think I lost the (incomplete) original version and replaced it with a better one.

Re: your oldest and your oldest mp3s
The oldest song I have on my HD as mp3, is probably Bing Crosby's White Christmas.
The first mp3 I ever downloaded will likely have been REM - Losing my Religion.

Re: your oldest and your oldest mp3s
Hmmm...
Dunno... I got everything from the monkees, whom are not the most modern band.
The first MP3 I downloaded... geez... that's a tough one... I know I proclaimed a good number of years ago that "I didn't need any MP3's".

Re: your oldest and your oldest mp3s
You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling - Righteous Brothers was the first I downloaded (go go gadget inter house music competition song)
And, excluding classical, the oldest would probably be something from the fifties.

If we're counting other audio formats I recorded the Red Dwarf theme music off the telly using a capture card on my Amiga and then encoded it into some compressed format about 11/12 years ago.

Re: your oldest and your oldest mp3s
I know that. I wasn't claiming was Nodrog was talking about other audio formats - I was, although to be fair my phrasing was confusing.

Same. I think the first song I ever downloaded was "All The Small Things" by Blink about 6 years. Whatever it was got deleted ages ago though.

Re: your oldest and your oldest mp3s
Oldest song, Leon Redbone - Seduced i think. Though i dont know when that was made
First song i downloaded was probably something really really terrible. I started downloading at the very end of my "i like poppy dance" stage.

Re: your oldest and your oldest mp3s
My Oldest is apparently Procul Harem- White Shade of Pale from 1967 (going off tags for this, which mnay be flawed as it has You Give Love a Bad Name as being released in the 2010's...).
The first I downloaded would have been something by Weird Al i think...

Re: your oldest and your oldest mp3s
Does Gilbert and Sullivan count as classical?
If it does, then I really don't know. I don't think I have anything from the 50s, but I have several songs that I like because my parents played them when I was young, and I suppose they'd be 60s and 70s, but I couldn't say when each one was from.
I can't tell which one I downloaded first, either, because I've renamed and moved them all repeatedly since I downloaded them.

You dont have to make excuses for having had a different taste in music.
My oldest mp3 is a positively geriatric 15 years old, My Dahlia by Smashing Pumpkins circa 1989
The first one i downloaded... who knows, probably something that was out in december 1998

I think most people would class comic operettas as classical.

Re: your oldest and your oldest mp3s
Getting MIDIs from FTP-Servers with ratio (i.e. upload one, download five).
The days were AudioGalaxy actually used to be an FTP-Search-Service...
Or actually getting midis from friends on floppies...
I once requested "Liquido - Narcotic" from a midi-website...
I don't listen to music before 60s, and can't be arsed to remember my first mp3s (prolly to embarassing as well)

I used to tape the Radio 1 Top 40 when I were a lad and play them through my ZX Spectrum.
