This Non-Profit Has 450,000 Of The Songs Lost by Myspace

Last month, Myspace confirmed it had accidentally deleted 12 years worth of users’ music, along with photos, videos, and other audio files. Now, it seems the Internet Archive may be able to help some people recover what they’ve lost. The Internet Archive is a non-profit library of books, movies, software, music, and more. On Wednesday, The Internet Archive’s Jason Scott announced the Myspace Music Dragon Hoard. According to Scott, the collection contains 450,000 songs from 2008-2010 on Myspace, “gathered before they were all ‘deleted’ by mistake.” Myspace reported it had lost data uploaded between 2003 and 2015, but the Myspace Music Dragon Hoard doesn’t expand to all of those years. Still, for those who used Myspace as a window into early music by their favorite artists, it’s good news.
