Hi guys,

I found out a guy made the .paruqet files for the anna spotify dataset.

As they are only 30GB for 256M tracks with albums and artists and their junction tables, I couldn't resist the urge of self-hosting the biggest ever music metadata catalog at the price of a blu-ray.😂

I built a simple fastAPI app to emulate basic spotify responses and navigate the info contained within the dataset.

My idea now is that i could have (mostly) local music tagging and some kind of discovery weekly style recommendations for my own library.

I don't know how useful the above may be, but for example making a script to submit the data to musicbrainz sounds kinda useful.

i'm not very expert in SQL and such, so i don't think the approach is the fastest or the most efficient, and definitely the whole app could be improved, but it works.

The data cutoff is half 2025, so this is only valid for 'older' music.

the link to the .parquet dataset is inside the repo.

here's the repo: local-spotify-api

cheers :)
