Anna's Archive backed up Spotify.

Anna's Archive backed up Spotify. They got 99.9% of metadata, and 300TB of music representing 86 million tracks - original 160kbps OGG for tracks with popularity>0, and re-encoded 75kbps for popularity=0. absolutely wild project.
the metadata in particular is a hugely useful data source. MusicBrainz catalogues 5 million unique ISRCs (like ISBNs but for music releases), whereas this archive has a whopping 186 million.

this solves a major problem I ran into when writing automation tools for maintaining my own music library: the metadata sources are missing so much stuff, so you generally end up needing to query the Spotify API, which isn't sustainable. even with it inherently being a snapshot in time, archived metadata solves a ton of headaches.

@halcy @gsuberland it is, if you have 10k-15k spare money. Plus don’t shy away from like extra 200 to 300W home extra heating 24/7.
It’s not that bad, could als just get you 256GB of latest RAM and top tier GPU. Or 2 top spec MBP. It is bad.

@friedrich @halcy with recertified enterprise disks and second hand HBAs you could store this for a lot less than 10k.

@gsuberland @friedrich @halcy never underestimate the power of walking into a microcenter and looking for sales on the cheapest, slowest barracudas, you can generally get the 4tb ones around $50.
