I fucking love annas archive. Anna does seem rather insane though
C'mon you gotta say why im curious
After Meta scraped all their books they have the perfect defense now. All they have to say is "we're training a music AI" and they're apparently untouchable.
Well, they have to say "we're training a music AI" while slipping several million dollars into the pockets of the right people. Rich people don't win legal battles by actually proving what they did isn't illegal, they do it by discreetly paying people to say they did.
Often and increasingly they are not bothering with the discretion part anymore.
Anyone knows if spotify metadata have BPM and keys?
Mashup artist detected
Would love lmao. Just bought a second hand VDJ and I'm starting to experiment with mixxx, and I don't know is the style I like (latincore and adjacents) or if the BPM detected of mixxx isn't that good.
Good on you for starting that up! I wish you much success in your mixing and/or producing journey!
Both. Per the SQL schema printed in the article, table track_audio_features has both fields tempo and key along with many other technicals. Worth checking out, it's near the bottom of the page.
BPM yes, keys I'm not so sure.

Are these the actual music files you can use to play as well?
Would be amazing if it was. I would love to just have Spotify's music on my nas
I'd wager 70% of what's on Spotify is not worth preserving since its AI slop.
I'm not convinced AI slop can compete with the back log of organic slop personally.
But yeah a fuckton is probably slop either way
AI slop is accelerating exponentially for the foreseeable future. It won't take long for world data storage to be a limiting factor.
Yeah as with most of the internet, it’s only worth downloading anything uploaded before 2023.
So far, LLMs have done so much more harm than help.
That's what they're for.
Interestingly enough, with the data they provide, figuring out how much of it is AI slop wouldn't be that hard I think
If your nas has 300tb spare, you could.
How much could it cost $10,000
A RAID6 of 24 * 20TB drives could contain that with both parity and hotswap, with room to spare. Let's say $400 per refurb drive, $2500 rackmount SAS enclosure, $2000 SAS RAID card, $14,100 total. Assuming you already have the server and power and SAS cables.
Considering the Price per TB is 10-11 US dollars, it's gonna cost $3500 max
Is it that cheap now?? I would kill for 10tb
It's nowhere near that cheap.
I read it as 30tb in my head. 300tb is a bit more than i can manage
The article claims that they are:
We backed up Spotify (metadata and music files).
They've released torrents of the metadata, and they plan to release the music files, but they haven't yet. They intend to start by offering the downloads as bulk torrents, but they're open to considering implementing the ability to download single songs in the future.
So in short, yes, but you can't download them yet

Does anyone see the torrent links?
It says,
The data will be released in different stages on our Torrents page:
[X] Metadata (Dec 2025)
[ ] Music files (releasing in order of popularity)
[ ] Additional file metadata (torrent paths and checksums)
[ ] Album art
[ ] .zstdpatch files (to reconstruct original files before we added embedded metadata)
Yeah, I saw that and assumed they'd be torrents of the metadata.
Now make it streamable and make a stremio-like music client 🤞
Record labels themselves would march on foot to burn down the archives
Dns blocked in germany. fun.
Does DoH work? (Secure DNS in firefox's settings)
Simply choose a private DNS server like mullvad,quad,etc. and it should work..
Does this make Anna's Archive the top music tracker now? Lol move over RED
I wonder why Spotify and not YouTube Music, Tidal or Apple Music all of which are higher quality.
Spotify has lossless now. Although if you're listening on anything with Bluetooth then you probably won't notice anyway.

Spotify claims to offer lossless quality on much of their catalog; is this claim false or is there something more I'm missing here?
They were trying to keep file sizes down.

Is that ALL off the songs?
