The largest music library
Backing up Spotify - Anna’s Blog:
Anna’s Archive normally focuses on text (e.g. books and papers). We explained in “The critical window of shadow libraries” that we do this because text has the highest information density. But our mission (preserving humanity’s knowledge and culture) doesn’t distinguish among media types. Sometimes an opportunity comes along outside of text. This is such a case.
This is a magnificent effort by the people at Anna's Archive. 86 million music files archived, with metadata for 256 million tracks.
As I've begun constructing my own music library recently, it feels like the people at Anna's and I are kindred spirits of a sort. My library is currently at 50 artists, 69 albums and 708 songs. Good to know that I'm not running out of options for stuff to add any time soon.
