Before BitTorrent and even before LimeWire took off, there was AudioGalaxy. It was the unsung hero of peer-to-peer music discovery in the early 2000s, offering remote searching, smart filtering, and community-curated playlists. The RIAA inevitably came knocking, but those who used it still remember it as one of the slickest, smartest sharing tools of its era.
Unlike Napster, AudioGalaxy leaned heavily on decentralized file sharing, letting users build enormous libraries across connected systems. It quietly shaped how future services would think about music discovery and sharing.
