This is pretty good if you are a compulsive downloader. FINALLY I listen to some of the stuff I'd forgotten I downloaded in a fit of drunken consumerism at 3am.

True. You do get some 'what the fuck was I thinking?' moments too, mind.

I have a Hanson album

Apparently they made some decent music after the MmmBop stage

(I don't know because I haven't listened to it yet)

There's a worrying amount of vacuous ambient twaddle that you can nod off to on my hard-drive. Which comes from sharing mp3's with people in Goa.

The convention was clearly set out in the OP

I did both.

The first was song - artist and the second was artist -song-
