R.I.P. Audiogalaxy – this K5 submission gives an inside look and some post mortem on Audiogalaxy. They made some mistakes, and the spyware they installed turned me off on the service for a while, but it was unique, and of al the p2p services so far, I think it was the best at encouraging true music communities and exploration. Here’s hoping that there are second generation systems that can improve on Audiogalaxy’s strengths and learn from their mistakes.
