Thesixtyone is also closing in a few days and didn't give much notice. No way to export anything either. I've tried to scrape the site but considering how many days are left I can't possibly finish.
With stories like this, I always find it bizarre that artists/creators do not keep personal master copies of their works. I don't think it's fair to push the blame of losing the works completely to the service operators, I feel that creators also have some responsibility to employ due diligence if they want their works to be preserved.
Agreed. Putting something on the Internet makes it convenient to access, but I've never created something that I cared about that I didn't keep a local copy of. The idea actually makes me a little uncomfortable.
I would but honestly, there are far more important things that need their effort. t61 requires a bit of work to actually get the music. youtube-dl supports it, but only one at a time.
That's a site I haven't heard mentioned in quite a few years. Sad to hear it is also closing.
