Cupe Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 Online music developers and Pandora and Last.fm lovers, take note. The next phase in research on how to deliver smart music delivery systems is underway, facilitated by a Million Song Dataset just released by The Echo Nest music application company.The dataset is "freely-available collection of audio features and metadata for a million contemporary popular music tracks," being analyzed by Columbia University's Lab ROSA, aka the Laboratory for the Recognition and Organization of Speech and Audio. And the Holy Grail is to use this treasure trove to develop a new generation of Music Information Retrieval services—venues that pay attention to what you are listening, analyze the components, and offer up new songs and compositions that you'll like.http://arstechnica.com/web/news/2011/03 ... s-free.ars Quote

Cupe Posted March 9, 2011 Author Posted March 9, 2011 i duno read the article. im just trying to post goods Quote
lloydc Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 i duno read the article. im just trying to post goods i'm downloading the subset now (10,000 songs), i'll let you know what it's like... also not sure how to get the rest.I'm not even sure if i can use the subsetmeh Quote
eggssell Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 ha ha its not music its track metadata (or whatever you call it, you know all the info) Quote
lloydc Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 meta data for 10000 songs is 2gb?wowglad i cancelled that download ~300mb in Quote
chrismak Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 This is only useful for researchers and engineers who are working on algorithms for Music Information Retrieval.The impact it has on us? You may see even smarter delivery of online music, which remembers what you are listening to and suggests other music you might like. Quote
dim Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 mr chris hits the bullseye.like they are trying to make "itunes genius" actually useful.the more automated the process gets the less of us will get work: imagine a traktor or serrato rig that can sync everything flawlessly, mix repectably on "cruise" control and update it's own record box via these algorithms? Loads of venues will think it's great (cheaper, more reliable, never gets ripped), loads of punters wont notice the difference.Only those who know only humans can be inspiring will weep.Whats wrong with spending time in a record shop, talking to the staff, and keeping your ears open?i really gotta stop browsing these forums though, I'm sticking my nose in allover.

CBG Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 7eah we did a bit on metadata in digital audio theory the other week. basically its the 'properties' of a track Quote
Buck_Choi Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 nvm found it. is there a list of songs there? Quote
Buck_Choi Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 wait nvm i read the above posts no point dl'd it. thanks tripple posttttt Quote
