In November 1997, the website mp3.com was offering thousands of MP3s created by independent artists for free. The small size of MP3 files enabled widespread peer-to-peer file sharing of music ripped from CDs, which would have previously been nearly impossible. The first large peer-to-peer filesharing network, Napster, was launched in 1999.
If it is possible to answer this question, answer it for me (else, reply "unanswerable"): How many MP3s were offered for free by the website?
thousands
