I certainly mean 1997. Early that year is when it took off. Winamp was released in April of that year. Before that there was some other Windows-based mp3 player with a super simplistic UI, the name of which I can't recall right now. I may or may not have had about a hundred tracks using up almost all of my hard drive space at the time.

You were just behind the curve. :)

Hah. Still, in 1997, the fact that some people had the capacity to have mp3 files on their computers doesn't mean much since even disorganized file-sharing wasn't all that common and there was little way for almost anyone to real gather substantial collections. 100 tracks is nothing, that's like a small stack of CDs.
