I guess it’s easier packaged in a torrent rather than individual downloads, but I do question why anyone would need this if all they were doing was training AI, as everything is already available on YouTube for free. You don’t need to hack a company to get the audio. Now if you’re a human trying to actually listen to the songs, obviously the Spotify torrent will sound much better, assuming the hack captured the higher quality audio streams from Spotify. All the youtube downloaders sound like crap because its like 128kbps m4a (at least on newpipe, though you can do 160kbps opus if you want)
