-  The full dataset includes over 100,000 ful length MP3 audio recordings, and truncated files. There are four .csv metadata files that include: track-level information (such as ID, title, artist, genres, tags and play counts), genre IDs, data generated using LibRosa (a package for music and audio analysis), and data generated by echonest (applicable to a subset of the records). A published paper is a single PDF document, and code (notebooks and scripts) that have been developed for interacting with the dataset and metadata files. The Library is currently only able to provide dowload access for the smallest version of the dataset. Visit the GitHub archive in order to download the larger versions.
