Here's the million song dataset: http://labrosa.ee.columbia.edu/millionsong/ http://labrosa.ee.columbia.edu/millionsong/
Last night I downloaded the SQLite db 'track_metadata.db' and ran some simple queries like sorting for the hottest artists (Kanye West, Daft Punk, Black Eyed Peas), most prolific artists (Ike and Tina Turner: 208, Michael Jackson: 204, Johnny Cash: 201), higher average song-length by year (1975: 258s, 1976: 255s, 2001: 254s).
I wish the SQLite db contained more fields like beats, loudness, song_hotness etc. as rickrolled here: http://labrosa.ee.columbia.edu/millionsong/pages/example-track-description http://labrosa.ee.columbia.edu/millionsong/pages/example-tra.... I don't think everyone needs the full waveform-analysis data present in the 280GB download.
I'd rather download a 2GB metadata file for multi-variable analysis like the Netflix prize instead of the entire 280GB dataset just to get the additional fields.
My end-goal was to do some analysis of what makes an artist/song 'hot'. If anyone is interested, I could redo something like http://chir.ag/projects/preztags/ http://chir.ag/projects/preztags/ but with music data.
- brianwhitman 16y agohi chime, if you want, you are free to use our API -- http://developer.echonest.com/ http://developer.echonest.com/ and query for that stuff manually to get the fields if you don't want to process the whole dump. (If you are getting rate limited let me or Paul know and we can raise your limit temporarily) If you'd like a different organization of it, please write Thierry or me or Paul and we'll take it into consideration. We'd like as many people as possible to use this.
