I've gotten a lot of long-out-of-print rarities from there. I wonder why copyright on songs doesn't revert to the artist like it does on magazine articles and poems and stuff: journals can buy "first publish" rights or "reprint" rights but after they use them, the ownership reverts to the author. There are so many great recordings that will never be re-recorded, that sharing mp3's (or the much less efficient tape tree) are the only way many of us will ever get to hear them.

RIP, Audiogalaxy.
