Is this new? Aren't most tracks already available in torrents?

    Yep, most of tracks were already available on "various" sources, but this time they directly scraped the whole Spotify database.

    It's really nice from them to backup Spotify database on a distributed system, and for free ! This ensure Spotify business won't be endanger in case of critical hardware failure.

    Not mine, because I’m not famous enough for people to pirate my music lol. It would be flattering for me to be included in this batch of scraped music.
