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
