How you could upload mp3s.
I miss people trading/sharing song files and not just torrenting or p2ping entire albums/discographies.
Uploading an mp3 (or other codec) file to an imageboard or by other means was like what I imagine the pokemon card scene was like.
"Oh you might like this here's this mp3" and then that mp3 becomes part of your life history, you feel an emotional attachment to it.
Someone should invent a musicboard where instead of images you post sound files.
It was the best! I found so much great music from the lovely people there. It had a much nicer atmosphere than 4chan's /mu/ as well.
I used to have a Wanted list of songs and albums I was trying to track down, and I'd link it my name when I posted. I always tried to help other people find music they were looking for (very often it was as simple as googling "album name" rar/zip/320) and in return people would send me music I was looking for. People even made threads for my birthday to send me music because I'd helped so many others! SLAYER!!!
Come to think of it, I reckon I read every single post on 420chan's /m/ from late 2007ish to its death (I guess it died? Idk the story I just know it hasn't been accessible for a while). It was quiet enough that you could easily catch up on all the new posts every few days, though I usually looked every day.
I think there were three things that changed the culture there:
>"Oh you might like this here's this mp3" and then that mp3 becomes part of your life history, you feel an emotional attachment to it.
I want to give a special shoutout to sovietrussia's /m/ board too, which I found before I found 420chan. It was very quiet but changed my life thanks to a few random mp3s someone shared, which became some of my favourite music ever and led me to discover more great music!
I remember when iichan (i think) had a tracker forum and you could upload .mod files. That ruled.

It's a tragedy, the loss of that board. Lots of great stuff consolidated in one convenient place.
>>6 wasn't there an archive of all the media files from there saved somewhere? I thought I downloaded it but I might have dreamt it.
Oh man... in November 2016 someone started a thread on 420chan asking for help finding a certain album, and it sounded interesting so I added it to my list. Well I just found it and wanted to share it with them. I hope they managed to find it for themselves!

What album was it, if you don't mind me asking?
>>9 Surf Aus Kopenhagen/Berlin by the Baywatchers, a crunchy surf rock band from Sweden and German. It's pretty cool!

2004. Something my ear picked out, on the live track "Mr. Hoff Blues", one of the riffs sounds quite similar to "Brand New Kind Of" by the Sloppy Meateaters. Could be a coincidence, it's not a complicated riff... that song was featured on the Razor Freestyle Scooter game on PS1 released 2001 so he might have played that!
>>5 I uploaded one to youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jk1WcLYkoOU
420chan died but I think someone else bought the site name..
Anyhows, here is Libertango

Theres a clone site called stonerchan
>>14 Seems to be dead already... but I didn't get my hopes up
What's with the chan revivals lately? Two new world2chs, arisuchan briefly returning, then stonerchan.
I was going through some old folders and I found something I posted on /m/ in 2011. It was people sharing some of their favourite hip hop. I wonder how many of these links still work?

Maybe something like 22chan where you can upload audio files and then also select a custom thumbnail to display which also accepts most audio formats although they get converted to a high quality .mp3 instead
Anyone got any alt boards to upload mp3s too?
I wish there was a music imageboard for mp3/wav sharing because that would be awesome
there used to be an imageboard where you could attach tracker modules to your post, it rocked.
