How would that work? For games or software in general, something executable, I get it, but content beside mind blowing proof of concept, I have a hard time codecs can be hijacked so that such a payload gets to do anything via e.g. VLC or mpv.
Back in kazaa/limewire times, search for any music would always return a bunch of .exe files, like Metallica - Fade to Black.exe. A lot of people learned the difference between file extensions the hard way
I would actually use Audio-Galaxy Satellite P2P again to find new music.
Had one of the best artist recommendation algorithms ever.
For your local music library tastes, it would first crossmatch to find other users who had the most similarity to your collection, then recommend you the artists that they had, that you didn’t.
Simple and elegant.
* As mentioned elsewhere, Nicotine/Soulseek is the modern leader for recommendations.
I remember using their website to search for songs, select them for download and having their satellite client download them for me by the time i came home.
I would give anything to go back to listening to music on limewire. Download times be damned. It was a simpler time.

Refurb IPods with upgraded batteries, Wolfson DAC, and 512GB SSDs are a thing.
There is a whole cottage industry of replacement iPod parts now. I have seen some pretty cool ones with flash storage and clear cases.
Unfortunately the Minis and Nanos are a pain in the ass to open.
Also hdtracks
Soulseek is the current best alternative for music downloading. No viruses disguised as music, afaik
Exactly. If you want to go back to pirating songs, just pirate songs wth.
nicotine+ is fantastic
