Anna’s Archive claims to have scraped and archived Spotify’s catalog, extracting metadata for 256 million tracks and approximately 86 million audio files (totaling ~300 TB) and publishing the data via torrents and a sqlite3 metadata database; Spotify says it disabled abusive accounts and added safeguards, while experts warn torrent distribution risks (malware and illegitimate redistributions).
