Maybe that's not the way it's done.

I have to admit that perhaps I've got this whole business wrong. I assume that there are two basic methods by which music finds its way to peer to peer usage. The most common is of course that people download music and leave it on their hard drives so that others can also find and download it. But of course there has to be someone who puts it there that first time. I assume that this is done by someone taking a disc and converting it to mp3 and leaving it on his or her hard drive. But again, if this is the way it's done, it would make sense to find entire albums, and to find them organized more logically. Instead, I've constructed entire albums from cuts I've found which are labelled in such a way that it's clear that they're not from the same person. (I own the records so I can easily verify by length whether the cut I've found is actually from that album.) I then rename the files so that anyone looking for them, or finding them, will know what they are. So far so good, but I still don't understand the process by which these materials find that first way to peer to peer usage.
