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.



Spotify has lossless now. Although if you’re listening on anything with Bluetooth then you probably won’t notice anyway.
well bluetooth always adds additional compression, so it could still make a difference
