You worked there? Thanks, I remember there was one song I was searching for forever and Audiogalaxy was the only engine that found it.

Cool, glad you liked it -- it is always fun to talk to people who used the site.

I was there from 1999 to 2002. It was exceptionally good at finding rare music, at least partially because we never partitioned our network. When you searched, it searched all 1 million+ users that were currently running the Satellite.

I have to echo what they said.

Audiogalaxy was simply wonderful. Even now, I would still say it's better than current P2P offerings.

You could find so much.. and the client was so very lightweight!

It was fantastic for finding rare music. Lots of music that I can't find nowadays anywhere - paid or otherwise.

And I loved being able to control my home client from work through a web interface.
