Haha, love the changelog, and love the tunes; nice job!

2024-08-11: The rewrite is done

It took a while but it's finally here. Support for playlists, favorite songs, WASM cores, new formats, etc. The list of supported formats now includes KSS, AY, Furnace and Famitracker songs, and much more (click on Song formats to see the full list).

Out of curiosity, what is the size on disk of the music collection? (485k songs)

[fourfour3]

Do you have any plans to let people download the music collection in bulk? eg a direct download or via archive.org?

You mention in your FAQ that preservation is a big goal of this for you, and this is a very impressive collection that I'd hate to see disappear like some of the original sites!

Good question. I was thinking of eventually putting the whole archive in a decentralized system like IPFS, but I guess archive.org is also fine.

However I want to wait a bit before doing so, because some of the archive sources haven't responded to the permission request I sent. And I don't want people to download their collections in bulk if they wouldn't want to.

I would definitely be interested in this as well

Around 25 GB in total. Originally managed using a Git repository until it became unmanageable...

I just checked the song count, by the way, and it's actually 503305, contained in 441902 files (some files can hold multiple tracks).
