@arstechnica can’t wait for cloud style nas with the archive on it to be sold ready to plug in

@arstechnica What's funny is, Spotify hasn't plugged the hole that Anna's Archive exfiltrated all that music through.

There are still sites (not naming any for reasons, but they're not hard to find) where you can paste a Spotify link and it will give you DRM-free MP3 files.

I feel like Spotify should fix its barn door before trying to get the cows back in the barn, but maybe that makes too much sense.
