Very cool, though the quality leaves a bit to be desired.

For popularity>0, we got close to all tracks on the platform. The quality is the original OGG Vorbis at 160kbit/s. Metadata was added without reencoding the audio (and an archive of diff files is available to reconstruct the original files from Spotify, as well as a metadata file with original hashes and checksums).

For popularity=0, we got files representing about half the number of listens (either original or a copy with the same ISRC). The audio is reencoded to OGG Opus at 75kbit/s — sounding the same to most people, but noticeable to an expert.

I listen exclusively to 96kbps opus and it sounds perfect. Not sure if 75kbps would be noticeable.

I don't know if I have bad ears but I cannot hear the difference in 90K OPUS from FLAC.
