I remember the broadcast time happened to line up very inconveniently with the end of my shift that night, so I had like 10 minutes to make it home on a walk that normally took 20. I made it just in time to launch Audacity, open their site, and hit record, missing about 10 seconds of the intro track. I've since bought a genuine recording of the record but that recorded stream has some pretty memorable personal significance, especially with the missing first 10 seconds, I had never been that hyped for a record release before.

Cool story. (Damn, it's impossible to say that without sounding sarcastic.
I'm not being that though.)
Now that I think of it, I do have cherrished digital items.
I once wrote a positive youtube comment to an artist's video and he contacted me to thank me. We chatted a bit and at some point he not only sent me FLACs of all his albums, but also some unreleased demos, live recordings and alternative versions. Super nice guy. Afterwards I bought all his stuff that was available anyway. He deserves it.
