View submission: Did you use Napster?
Napster was incredible. Going from purchasing $15-30 albums on CD at special stores, to downloading anything I wanted seemed like the ultimate cheat code, and was life changing.
With the benefit of hindsight, that time may have been when music peaked for me. No development in listening to music has ever approached how impactful that was since then.

The whole Apple iPod thing had a similar effect. While I was still thrilled to burn those custom CDs, being able to carry all those songs on a portable drive was mind blowing!
