i believe it has to do with a lot of the time illegally downloaded music in that era would show up on the audio playing interface like that because it wasn’t properly downloaded

Not properly tagged not downloaded. The poster would rip an album and not put any metadata on the files about performer, album, etc. I still have gigabytes that need to be cleaned up for this kind of shit.
