I wish I could think anything positive about this, but I can't imagine anyone who actually cares about music needs or wants this. Instead it'll almost certainly be used as an illegal and unethical dataset to further train bullshit AI to make slop songs. As easy as it is for people to claim "preservation", I do have to question the motives of stuff like this...

Fuck AI. Support your favorite human artists.

I have 3gb of space to share. Are there 150 other people like me that want to do some distributed hosting? What technology can handle this?

I know, I read about this news, but nowhere did I find this torrent file that they are talking about, do you know where they sent it to what site, and if this is just for the sake of information, do I condemn piracy?🧐

How many full seeds are there? I mean how many could there be? Who has 300 Tb to throw at this?

[-] Auth@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago

Given some of the collections I've seen on private trackers I'd say there is going to be quite a few seeding this in its entirety.

You mean if they wipe their collection to make space. Private sites probably have better quality than Spotify.

But are the files high quality, or is it the same low bitrate garbage they send to their users ?

[-] trolololol@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

In between

It's not in MP3, it's Ogg vorbis and I don't have equipment and time to have an informed opinion about how good Ogg vorbis is at any given bit rate.

They claim usual people can't tell between what they do and better bit rates. I know I'm picky so I know I'll notice something.

Remembering t this is Anna's archive. The goal is preservation of human culture, not pirating.

Spotify has bitrate options

99% of the "original" Spotify's contents are crap or AI bloat. The rest was already on torrent before.
