Fist off I dislike MP3 in favor of FLAC/ALAC. Most are unaware that MP3 is limited to 50 Hz to 15 KHz while FLAC/ALAC can reach above 18KHz but the distortion level tends to rise which has led to some study to reduce that. Oversampling of CD Audio was the first attempt to get better sound. Then single bit with a low pass filter was used. Today basic CUE/BIN and CUE/FLAC are fine for those burning CDR media but for those with iTunes etc CDR is small vs hard disk or NAS box.
A 16 disk 4U NAS box with 24TB hard disks can handle a lot of music. Reality is that multiple NAS boxes are needed to store every song out there. The 16 disk NAS has the advantage of front mounted hard disks which make it much less problematic swapping out disks when new capacity disks surface. Each 42U standard racks can hold a lot of NAS servers. Apple evidently has some 100 million songs for sale; so at 40 megabytes each that is a lot of disks needed in lossless. Probably need a very large data center.
I use a laptop and a large M.2 SSD so I can wander around as a seed box. The machine is rather generic and perfect as a stealth seed box. More laptops can be equipped with large SSD and join in on P2P seeding. Internet speeds are all over the dial but my machine can sometimes connect to faster connections here and there. For the most part, faster internet has little impact for downloads or uploads. The average speed is rather dismal as the number of seeds is so few lately. Another problem is that fear mongering means many are hit and run, which means fewer seeds.
AX WiFi cards can easily handle 256 connections so I run by machine like that and typically I see maybe 500 peers most of the time. There are more out there but 500 are typically on the radar trading pieces on my peer offerings. The new BE standard is a warmed over AX but it can also handle 256 connections making all of my torrents live to download.

Now that's what I call music with the latest volume to 2024

I also collect 20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection. This is a FLAC pack with one MP3 and one APE format while the rest are FLAC. I seem to be the only seed most of the time.

This MP3 bundle has pretty much all known 20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection. The MP3 are evidently all 320kbps.

Neil Young Discography is well seeded

The Pop Years - The 1950s 10CD box set needs more seeds

I will post more as I get around to it. Trying to get Bubanee's Billboard collection but this has been glacial at best. Some other box sets ae equally slow but once I get them done downloading I can post more magnets. I can get the some lists for Billboard so I might make a set over time on a folder and then when its done I can post it.
Been hunting for Grammy Nominees with the odd MP3 but no FLAC or ALAC lossless on several sites I looked on. I have 2014 in my iTunes library but I know the series goes back to 1995 but these days slim pickings is getting real lean. Some audio is stuck at 99% which means a waiting game.
Some time ago Gold 2CD was in the market about the same time as 20th Century Masters in music stores. The 20th Century Master boxes were all different which suggested the publisher was aiming at large scale collectors. I have some of the Gold 2CD but I am not at all sure how many exist.
