MILLION SONG DATASET

January 2011

************************************************************
The dataset contains the analysis and metadata for a million songs.
The goal is to provide a large dataset for researchers to report results 
on, hence encouraging algorithms that scale to commercial sizes.

Most of the information is provided by The Echo Nest.
The dataset is the result of a collaboration between The Echo Nest
and LabROSA at Columbia University.
This project is funded in part by the NSF.

Most of the data is licensed the same way as Echo Nest's API.
For the SecondHandSongs dataset (cover songs), see the webpage:
   http://labrosa.ee.columbia.edu/millionsong/secondhand
The code is under GNU public license.
See LICENSE for details.

Most details and instructions on how to get the dataset can be found
on the project's website:
