I think it's quite important from the perspective of media preservation. We basically have a snapshot of music from a time where it was mostly Human-Made.
I agree, but on the flip side this will 100% be used to train new music generation models lol...

But are the files high quality, or is it the same low bitrate garbage they send to their users ?
