Nearly all of Spotify has been scraped and is available via torrents
:Anna's Archive scraped 86M songs from Spotify covering 99.6% of streams. The 300TB archive is already on torrents.

That’s disgusting. Where would you find such torrents?
The album art torrent is a goldmine. Such a pain in the ass sometimes to find high quality album covers.
Have they actually been indexed?
There is 200gb of just metadata
4TB if you include all with popularity=0 iirc
What I used to do is google the name of the album and append to it "cover itunes". Usually I would find high quality images of the albums that way
The fact that annas archive exists despite how fucked up everything is right now gives me hope. Every time I start to feel cynical about the future I remind myself that there's people out there working to preserve the art and culture of our modern era with all the most powerful corporations and governments working against them, and they're succeeding.
Anyway, thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.
100%
...and Archive.org
And Wikipedia.
None of these are audio torrents.
That's not released yet.
People are saying it's 300TB but this link is only 200GB why?
The 200GB is the metadata sqlite database only
God damn! That's essentially just text, right? Or would it also include album cover art?
Basically, the id3 tags for the music files. However, Spotify uses several more nonstandard tags in their database, some of them are great to make playlists.
It includes cover art and also preview clips. In this blog post you can read what their database contains: https://annas-archive.li/blog/backing-up-spotify.html

Shit me, 200gb in metadata, 2.2TB in cover art before we even touch a piece of music! Wild
Its also crazy when you realise the amount of knowledge an experienced data analyst could gain from 200gb of metadata.
what a beautiful, simple and well designed website
I would never bookmark such a site! [clicks bookmark button]
