We backed up Spotify (metadata and music files). It’s distributed in bulk torrents (~300TB). It’s the world’s first “preservation archive” for music which is fully open (meaning it can easily be mirrored by anyone with enough disk space), with 86 million music files, representing around 99.6% of listens.

      Bandcamp is good. Bands still have websites and mailing lists too. There was never anything wrong with these but big tech wants to keep you in their walled garden and forget the TRUE internet still exists out there.

      Also, record stores bro.

          Ill do that someday too. I dont like getting rid of media though since 1 glitch/hack/brownout could take out your entire nas very easily.

      I don’t use Spotify, either. And do what you want to do, nobody is forcing your to put your music on Spotify.
