Accessing the data
Due to quirks and bugs in the Wayback Machine, it is not entirely straightforward to browse/access the archives. One major issue is that picosong's song IDs were case-sensitive, but the Wayback Machine collapses case and does not display the actual, correct capitalisation anywhere directly. Further, there is currently (September 2021) a bug involving the download and stream redirects, causing those links to be broken.
As a workaround, here is a little page that helps you find the correct song page snapshot as well as the download URL from a song URL or ID: https://web.archive.org/web/20211001003631id_/https://ia801403.us.archive.org/33/items/picosong.com_finder/index.html
