Afterword

There are thousands of things I can say about my time at MP3.com, many more than I could ever fit into one chapter. I worked there for just over two tumultuous years and it was a ride I'll never forget.

One of the most amazing things, however, is the lasting nature of the friendships I built during those two years. I keep in touch with more people from MP3.com than any other place that I've worked. And it's not just me. In talking to some of my old compatriots to verify dates and to hear their version of events, the most common comment I heard was the amazement at how much people hang out with each other and how strong the bonds are, even five or six years after many folks left. I'm not sure how much of this was accomplished upfront, by the hiring practices and making sure that only the "right" people got through the gates versus the experiences we shared, but whatever it was, it worked. Many of these same people are still working together today, although they all agree: it has never been the same as it was at MP3.com.
