The Million Song Dataset is a freely-available collection of audio features and metadata for a million contemporary popular music tracks.
- The core of the dataset is the feature analysis and metadata for one million songs, provided by The Echo Nest. The dataset does not include any audio, only the derived features. Note, however, that sample audio can be fetched from services like 7digital, using code we provide.
- The Million Song Dataset is also a cluster of complementary datasets contributed by the community:
- SecondHandSongs dataset -> cover songs
- musiXmatch dataset -> lyrics
- Last.fm dataset -> song-level tags and similarity
- Taste Profile subset -> user data
- thisismyjam-to-MSD mapping -> more user data
- tagtraum genre annotations -> genre labels
- Top MAGD dataset -> more genre labels
