This morning I had the “party shuffle” feature going on iTunes. I heard “If You Could Only See” from the band, Tonic, coming through the speakers and remembering that this was the first mp3 I had, the thought occurred to me that perhaps the file modified date would tell me the exact date & time of when that was!

Sure enough. Aug 30, 1997 at 8:10PM EST. I’d say I was pretty early in the movement don’t you think?
