Has anyone tried to self host this? Of course, hosting 300tb isn't practical, so any solution would need to download the metadata and songs on demand.

Wow this is so revolutionary.
Never in the history of the internet has music been available for free.
Not this easily with accurate tags and art it hasn't.
They more often than torrents do have the wrong tags when its not English music. Took me way too many emails to google music and Spotify before they stopped screaming at me with ALL CAPS on one album and before removing the dots after album track names (1. Track Name), not to mention the ones named TRACK 1, etc.
Uhh get on a real site and it has been.
Help me out. Where?
Now do Netflix, Prime, Paramount, HBO, Disney, Hulu and Apple and we're golden.
Would be a magical day the day copyright dies.
When copyright dies so rich conglomerates can make money by monetizing out toys and collectibles and theme parks from smaller creators content without paying a dime back to them? Copyright is beneficial. Copyright is good. It needs reform, yes, but don't mistake that with the concept being bad.
You should NOT actively do something, for money. You should EXPECT it.
Otherwise you'll eventually try to maximize profits and get rid of everything that made whatever you did good in the first place.
Already done. It's called Torrent Streaming and lets you stream-on-demand anything that exists as a torrent without having to torrent anything yourself.
A client that can stream these Spotify torrents with an interface that works like Spotify (low bar, I know) will be awesome, but also including a database to match songs to artists so users can send money directly to the artists they listen to will make it revolutionary.
Was there really much content on it that wasn't already available in a torrent somewhere already?
I would be very surprised if it wasn’t, at best it’s stuff no one bothered with and somehow I expect that won’t get torrented much either.
My very long game of avoiding spotify is finally paying off
Fuck... Now that RAM prices are skyrocketing, we gonna see hoarders buy hundreds of TB of storage, leading to price hikes
The price for ~~restored~~ refurbished HDDs has already gone up compared to a year or so ago
Restored HDDs?
He probably means refurbished
I know, I read about this news, but nowhere did I find this torrent file that they are talking about, do you know where they sent it to what site, and if this is just for the sake of information, do I condemn piracy?🧐
I think you're looking for this page.
1st time in my life I get a Error HTTP 451 even had to look up https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_451 and I have to admit the reference to Ray Bradbury's 1953 dystopian novel Fahrenheit 451 is pretty neat.
Consequently because the proxy link you provided is relying on CloudFlare which is itself blocking access I recommending link first to the original content https://annas-archive.org/torrents and optionally to mirrors, proxies, etc.

"Condemn" or "condone"? While similar sounding, those two words have basically opposite meaning. Yay English!
Don't even get started on our homophones. XD
Dude it's 2025 you can't use that word anymore
How many full seeds are there? I mean how many could there be? Who has 300 Tb to throw at this?
On their torrent page it's explained more but it's broken up into many many torrents and you basically say how much space you're willing to host and it generates one with the least seeded "blob".
I don't really know how that would work on the back end but it seems technically impressive.
Wow, that is technically impressive, very cool!
Given some of the collections I've seen on private trackers I'd say there is going to be quite a few seeding this in its entirety.
You mean if they wipe their collection to make space. Private sites probably have better quality than Spotify.

I buy music on Bandcamp to support artists and then stream music via my own Plex server

Moved to Tidal. Reviews from some tech-site said "It's like Spotify 10 years ago." as if that's a bad thing.
Loving the FLAC quality and non-enshittification.
