Was that the Archive.org HTML files, or did you find a source of PureVolume MP3 files?

Either way I'm interested; I did some independent research into the MySpace Dragon Hoard for non-English music, and discovered bands through there that I've since supported on Bandcamp and iTunes.

I went through a bunch of HTML pages, but most didn’t have much worth keeping. The main .warc I pulled had a ton of profiles and other data, though it looks like most of the site didn’t get scraped in time. I managed to extract 63,993 songs from the various .warc files. If you’ve got a way to reach you (Twitter or email works), I can share the torrent and instructions on how to rebuild and sift through everything.

Sure, just click my profile name and you'll have my personal website with email address.
