How did you get the samples for the song? iTunes allows scraping?

Your project is extremely motivational .. how long did it take you? What did you train on? I do DL for work and just play with things like cifar. This is so inspired.



Apple Music subscription is $12/month and it allows full downloads of songs.


Hmmm. I would have thought that Apple would detect and block you if you try to download their entire catalog without some kind of permission. If they're the same size as the files in my Apple Music it would take in the order of a petabyte to store (compression would obviously reduce that).

120M songs would take approximately 1000 years to listen to in normal time and is way beyond normal usage.


... but certainly not ALL songs? I would think they notice if you download more then one minute of audio per minute over a long time.


But aren't they DRMed? Or does it let you download in mp3 or related formats directly (I'm not on Apple music)?


You're correct, it's DRM only


Analog hole.
