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.

The slop ratio hasn't gotten better from abandoning that format.

Maybe hot take but I'm still interested in Zero Parades, despite ZA/UM being stolen. A CRPG about a spy who is a burn out is extremely my shit and it's one of the few studios that have unionized.
