      When I was a kid, I used to drop my CD rips down to a 32,000kHz sample rate to make the WAV files smaller, because I couldn’t figure out MP3s yet. Adult me is horrified by the notion. But back then, sounding good enough was acceptable.

        I used to download AMVs using YT to MP4 sites, then play back the audio on my phone instead of just downloading the music.

          TBF, downloading YT rips is a much smaller offense than what I did (in terms of reducing audio quality). That said, if YouTube existed when I was young, I probably would have done the same thing and then become as equally horrified as an adult.
