So, there was a “spotify hack” recently, from Anna’s Archive, as we all know. My question is:

  • Has the songs from that hack been made available? Can one easily get these songs? Say, I want song X from artist Y. Can I search and download?

    There’s a lot of Japanese stuff on nyaa. They even have a lossless audio section. Lossy is usually 128k or 320k mp3. I do lossy myself, but I encode to m4a low-complexity 192k (the highest option it has). So I grab lossless and encode to my settings, then use mp3tag for perfect metadata control (free for you Windows guys; $30 on Mac). Then it’s a unique file. Can still be sonically identified, but so can the tracks you legit ripped from CD, so that doesn’t matter.

    Also collect Japanese music, mostly j-rock.
