Anna's Archive "backed up Spotify"

Backing up Spotify

annas-archive.li/blog, 2025-12-20, Discuss on Hacker News

We backed up Spotify (metadata).

This release includes the largest publicly available music metadata database with 256 million tracks and 186 million unique ISRCs.


(edit Spoons note - re [TOS 9]: Google AI: "No, music album names are not copyrightable. Under intellectual property laws in the United States and many other jurisdictions, copyright does not protect short phrases, titles, or slogans. "

So the metadata titles are fair game as far as copyright goes, the first release of metadata would not fall foul of copyright laws)
