Find I'll start, agreed with Napster being important and influential. Changed the way how music is being shared and not to mention the birth of itunes and the way people purchased music. Also copyrighted laws had to be change because of the ease people can get music online.

I would say Napster somehow created the bandcamp/indie/hipster/whateveryouwanttocallit culture of music where compared to the people of the past, had to eat up whatever the media gave them but now, consumers had a choice of what they want to listen to, it also gave smaller artists a chance to promote their stuffs, not to mention sharing ideas that couldn't have because of the strict control big cooperation had on artists and their creativity.

Unless you care about bitrates, bandcamps allowed people to listen to music for free and if you like them have a choice to purchase them (unless its already free). Napster open up this idea of sharing music online where in the past you had to purchase them in stores. In a way the idea Napster opened up is allowing artists to be label-free and released them independently.

but the difference is that its the artist on bandcamp that upload the music on napster it wasnt.
i mean if you want to give away your music for free i mean thats you decision but in napster you didnt have a choice.

>Napster open up this idea of sharing music online where in the past you had to purchase them in stores

Honestly, Napster wasn't really the thing that changed the industry. It was the focal point that got a lot of attention, but it was just part of a broader cultural shift brought on my the Internet coupled with MP2 and later MP3 playing software. If Napster hadn't existed then other shit would have done the same thing.

And, if you want evidence, the first songs I ever downloaded were MP2s from IRC that I played in WinPlay3 back when it was the only player available.

Napster and Winamp just streamlined that shit.

But did IRC take off? Napster had millions of users at its peak, its easy to use, not to mention convenient.

Just because other came first doesn't mean it is influential, the impact it has on society and technology has to be big in order to be label as such.

Napster was influential but something was always going to come along doing what Napster did, which is distribute music over the Internet. It was just a focal point when the ingredients were all right.

Same thing with Winamp. If it wasn't Winamp, it would have been something else. Some sort of MP3 player was going to become popular.

(And Napster was originally created by IRC users and, IIRC, included an IRC client!)

Quoted By:

It's pretty uncontested that it was very influential, basically was the first to make ptp music sharing that normal people wanted to use. You can draw comparisons to streaming services of today or even today's ptp clients like popcorntime.

There's a pretty decent documentary on the growth of napster called downloaded if anyone is curious.
