Wow this is so revolutionary.

Never in the history of the internet has music been available for free.

Not this easily with accurate tags and art it hasn't.

[–] motruck@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 hour ago

Uhh get on a real site and it has been.

[–] sbbq@lemmy.zip 5 points 7 hours ago

Was there really much content on it that wasn't already available in a torrent somewhere already?

Now do Netflix, Prime, Paramount, HBO, Disney, Hulu and Apple and we're golden.

Would be a magical day the day copyright dies.

When copyright dies so rich conglomerates can make money by monetizing out toys and collectibles and theme parks from smaller creators content without paying a dime back to them? Copyright is beneficial. Copyright is good. It needs reform, yes, but don't mistake that with the concept being bad.

Already done. It's called Torrent Streaming and lets you stream-on-demand anything that exists as a torrent without having to torrent anything yourself.

A client that can stream these Spotify torrents with an interface that works like Spotify (low bar, I know) will be awesome, but also including a database to match songs to artists so users can send money directly to the artists they listen to will make it revolutionary.

My very long game of avoiding spotify is finally paying off

Fuck... Now that RAM prices are skyrocketing, we gonna see hoarders buy hundreds of TB of storage, leading to price hikes

The price for restored HDDs has already gone up compared to a year or so ago

[–] motruck@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 hour ago

Restored HDDs?

I know, I read about this news, but nowhere did I find this torrent file that they are talking about, do you know where they sent it to what site, and if this is just for the sake of information, do I condemn piracy?🧐

1st time in my life I get a Error HTTP 451 even had to look up https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_451 and I have to admit the reference to Ray Bradbury's 1953 dystopian novel Fahrenheit 451 is pretty neat.

Consequently because the proxy link you provided is relying on CloudFlare which is itself blocking access I recommending link first to the original content https://annas-archive.org/torrents and optionally to mirrors, proxies, etc.

"Condemn" or "condone"? While similar sounding, those two words have basically opposite meaning. Yay English!

[–] QuandaleDingle@lemmy.world 5 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Don't even get started on our homophones. XD

[–] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 14 points 14 hours ago

Dude it's 2025 you can't use that word anymore

How many full seeds are there? I mean how many could there be? Who has 300 Tb to throw at this?

[–] turmacar@lemmy.world 25 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

On their torrent page it's explained more but it's broken up into many many torrents and you basically say how much space you're willing to host and it generates one with the least seeded "blob".

I don't really know how that would work on the back end but it seems technically impressive.

[–] Cocodapuf@lemmy.world 6 points 15 hours ago

Wow, that is technically impressive, very cool!

Interesting post. There was one artist with popularity = 100 but they didn’t mention who it was

I buy music on Bandcamp to support artists and then stream music via my own Plex server
