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.

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

        Does it circumvent the drm, or does it re-encode decompressed audio?
