Meanwhile, many users felt that P2P services provided them access to music that was otherwise difficult to obtain, such as unreleased tracks, live recordings and out of print albums. Users also liked the fact that P2P services allowed them to download individual songs from albums without having to pay for the entire album. It has been noted that many of the users who turned to P2P services in the late 90's and early 00's felt that commercial albums increasingly contained only one or two high-quality songs, with the rest of the album padded out by so-called "filler".
