Almost half a million tracks lost by Myspace have been recovered, offering a small glimmer of hope to musicians and fans that feared early works were gone forever.
Last month, the former social media titan admitted to losing music uploaded to the site since its founding in 2003 until 2015, resulting in the loss of an estimated 50 million tracks.
Some 490,000 MP3 files have been resurrected, after researchers behind an anonymous academic study conducted between 2008 and 2010 came forward with tracks they had extracted, offering them to non-profit digital library site Internet Archive.
