#2That's cool, perhaps also link it from a centralized location like Kaggle? https://www.kaggle.com/datasets
When I look for datasets, I first go to a place like that.

Found this dataset on Kaggle: https://www.kaggle.com/c/msdchallenge/data

#5I think this Dataset is probably unfortunately most famous for an incredibly flawed but very headlineable attempt, which you've almost certainly seen somewhere, by a group of researchers from AI and related fields (none of which had musical qualifications) to "objectively" determine if music has gotten worse over the decades. As usual, they arrived at the conclusion that it did by computing a vague number ("timbral diversity" and "harmonic complexity") for each song, and then showing a scary graph of that number going down over time.
Not sure what my point is exactly. I guess it's just another reminder of how easy it is to arrive at any conclusion you want using complex algorithms on big data.

Probably still good if you want to practice with machine learning on music.

Are you angry because that's not the conclusion you personally want to see?

#8I did my master's thesis (2017) using this dataset. I trained a neural network to predict musical features from the raw audio of the songs.
Unfortunately the 7digital ids were out-of-date, so in order to get access to the audio (30 second clips) I had to email another researcher who'd recently published work using the audio data and politely ask them to rsync me the audio XD

No, I think the poster is bothered by how absurd and unscientific such a pursuit is. It proposes that perhaps the people who made this dataset don't actually know anything about music, and are just nerds. This behavior is a common form of malpractice in composing data sets such as these.

#10Does this data set have a collection of chords in text? I'd love something like it.
