In 1994, there weren't many places you could stream or download music on the Internet. No Spotify, no iTunes, no Tidal, no Apple Music. No arguments about digital payments, no iPods, no all-you-can-eat musical buffets.
IUMA, the Internet Underground Music Archive, had launched the previous year in Santa Cruz, California. It gave unsigned and underground bands a platform with which to promote their music, but that was about it. MP3.com didn't launch until 1997 and Vitaminic, a pan-European network of local language mp3 sites headquartered in Italy, didn't go online until 1999.
