We backed up Spotify (metadata and music files). It’s distributed in bulk torrents (~300TB), grouped by popularity.

This release includes the largest publicly available music metadata database with 256 million tracks and 186 million unique ISRCs.

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.

Are these the actual music files you can use to play as well?

Would be amazing if it was. I would love to just have Spotify's music on my nas

I'd wager 70% of what's on Spotify is not worth preserving since its AI slop.

I'm not convinced AI slop can compete with the back log of organic slop personally.

But yeah a fuckton is probably slop either way

If your nas has 300tb spare, you could.

How much could it cost $10,000
