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.
There’s definitely gonna be some crazy guy who will put this on their server and stream it to their phones lol
If I had an extra 300 tb I’d do it.
I stream mine through Plexamp. Up to almost 400k tracks.
Just a random question. What would the cost be?
You can get refurbished hard drives for around 300$/20TB (quickly searched estimation). So, 15 drives plus maybe another 5 for raid reundancy takes you back 6k$. Server to hold those drives 1-2k$ (used), UPS, internet connection and other bits’n’bobs and your total is very roughly around 8k$ (or €, as I threw the estimations on a pretty big ballpark).
Thanks. $10k for a jukebox with all the music in the world sounds like a cool luxury novelty.
Oh im thinking of it lol
My first though as well
Hi it’s me
