News headlines in my country are like "Spotify attacked!!", "Millions of music tracks stolen!!".
Hilarious...
My teachers were the biggest thieves in history, they would hand out copies to us multiple times a day.
Not as dramatic but similar sentiment in german (tech) news.
Let’s go for a 300TB USB key on AliExpress
I feel like this will put them much more under the authorities target, music is much more sensible than books, simply because it moves more money..
Anyway I still am wondering how they managed to do this and how they still didn't get caught, there must be reeeally good devs there.
If instead of a giant omnibus torrent they put a folder structure on IPFS, it would be essentially a fully available streaming Spotify clone with the ability for people to "pin" tracks or albums or artists to have them stay locally on their device...
Just saying...
You're right, but that's not their goal.
Be the change you wish to see.
why must every good site draw attention to themselves like this? Make alternative site for music if you must make such a spectacle out of it, so when the hammer falls it doesnt take out the books too. Or at least have some kind of plan on how to survive it, which i really hope they do.
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.
I listen exclusively to 96kbps opus and it sounds perfect. Not sure if 75kbps would be noticeable.
I don't know if I have bad ears but I cannot hear the difference in 90K OPUS from FLAC.
Nice.
Would have been happy to pay but they just had to be a$$#oles
You can say assholes on the internet
Call me when it's actually released. "We'll release the music in the future" is worth exactly as much content as "we'll release a Batgirl movie".
You don't need them to release anything. Just download soulseek and search for anything you want.
