    2.8 million tracks totaling roughly 6 terabytes

    Is that really it? I have like a 1TB of music myself, most of it 320/CBR or V0 MP3 and I don’t think I have an amount equivalent to theirs at whatever bit rate they have them at. I’m assuming it is not the 128 KB/S streaming quality Spotify has

    Edit: I looked it up in Musicbee. I have 123,664 music files/songs and it’s 966.7GB. I don’t see how I have just short of 1% of the amount of music on Spotify. I should be like 0.01% unless Spotify isn’t really that popular for old music and stuff. There’s so much music being made in the world. Maybe they didn’t do a full scrape.
