Subject: Million Song Dataset

It is our pleasure to announce the release of The Million Song =20 dataset, a new resource to support music information research.

The Million Song Dataset is a freely-available collection of audio =20 features and metadata for a million contemporary popular music tracks.
http://labrosa.ee.columbia.edu/millionsong/

Its purposes are:
    * To encourage research on algorithms that scale to commercial sizes
    * To provide a reference dataset for evaluating research
    * As a shortcut alternative to creating a large dataset with The =20 Echo Nest's API
    * To help new researchers get started in the MIR field

The core of the dataset is the feature analysis and metadata for one =20 million songs, provided by The Echo Nest. The dataset does not include =20 any audio, only the derived features. Note, however, that sample audio =20 can be fetched from services like 7digital, using code we provide.

The Million Song Dataset is a collaborative project between The Echo =20 Nest and LabROSA. It is hosted by Infochimps and supported in part by =20 the NSF.

Aside from instructions on how to get the dataset, the website contains:
    * code and tutorials to get you started
    * benchmark results for some example tasks (automatic tagging, =20 artist recognition, ...)
    * artist-level mappings to link to the Yahoo Ratings Dataset (91% =20 of the artist ratings covered)
    * demos including how to fetch audio snippets, mapping artists on =20 a world map, ...
    * forum, FAQ, blog, etc.

To better understand where this dataset comes from and what it aims to =20 achieve, you can read Dan Ellis' blog post: http://bit.ly/hF8ozR

We are keen to receive questions, comments and suggestions, and we =20 look forward to your new number-crunching MIR algorithms!

Thierry Bertin-Mahieux and Dan Ellis, for the Million Song Dataset team http://labrosa.ee.columbia.edu/millionsong/
