We backed up Spotify (metadata and music files). It’s distributed in bulk torrents (~300TB). It’s the world’s first “preservation archive” for music which is fully open (meaning it can easily be mirrored by anyone with enough disk space), with 86 million music files, representing around 99.6% of listens.

    The data they compiled is really cool.

    If reading the chart right, the genera with the most artists is opera.

    Even if they didn’t have the music files, the analysis on the metadata is insane.

    Publicly admitting they are the origin of the torrents is definitely a risky an insane move. I don’t think they want Sony going after them, but also fuck Sony for locking art behind shitty contracts that forces these kind of projects to exist.

      Let’s be honest: Everybody is trying to go after Annas Archive. Every book publisher wants to get them, the US government, too and it really doesn’t matter if every music publisher wants them also. I hope that they are based in a country where the western systems can’t get them

        I hope (also assume since it hasn’t been taken down yet) it’s more of a decentralised deal with servers in many places and backups in every nation under the sun

      Yeah, it’s a wild move admitting that they are the source of pirated content for music here.

      We don’t need Anna’s Archive to go under as a result of Sony going after them because of this…

    This is the one thing on Spotify I can’t get elsewhere. Would be nice to have a non transcode copy.

      Well, since this archive says it contains the original ogg @160kbps for all artists with a popularity >0, it’ll be in this collection. Your wait may be over soon.

    So the artists get paid even less than from Spotify?
