So, there was a "spotify hack" recently, from Anna's Archive, as we all know. My question is:

Has the songs from that hack been made available? Can one easily get these songs? Say, I want song X from artist Y. Can I search and download?

The quality that they archived is not the same as what you're used to listening to on Spotify, just fyi... 96kbps is going to sound like straight dirty water trash

96kbps is quite good sounding compression. You may hear a difference with the original, but in most cases you'll have to focus very hard to hear it. As far as I know what they archived was not MP3 compressed but rather opus or ogg.

The rip by annas archive is 170kbps ogg for most of the songs (most meaning listening probability, not quantifying numbers.).
Furthermore 96kbps is more than enough for casual listeners. You may hear a difference but most people wont care tbh.
