MusicNet is a collection of 330 freely-licensed classical music recordings, together with over 1 million annotated labels indicating the precise time of each note in every recording, the instrument that plays each note, and the note's position in the metrical structure of the composition. The labels are acquired from musical scores aligned to recordings by dynamic time warping. The labels are verified by trained musicians; we estimate a labeling error rate of 4%. We offer the MusicNet labels to the machine learning and music communities as a resource for training models and a common benchmark for comparing results. This dataset was introduced in the paper "Learning Features of Music from Scratch." [1]

This repository consists of 3 top-level files:

• musicnet.tar.gz - This file contains the MusicNet dataset itself, consisting of PCM-encoded audio wave files (.wav) and corresponding CSV-encoded note label files (.csv). The data is organized according to the train/test split described and used in "Invariances and Data Augmentation for Supervised Music Transcription". [2]
• musicnet_metadata.csv - This file contains track-level information about recordings contained in MusicNet. The data and label files are named with MusicNet ids, which you can use to cross-index the data and labels with this metadata file.
• musicnet_midis.tar.gz - This file contains the reference MIDI files used to construct the MusicNet labels.

A PyTorch interface for accessing the MusicNet dataset is available on GitHub. For an audio/visual introduction and summary of this dataset, see the MusicNet inspector, created by Jong Wook Kim. The audio recordings in MusicNet consist of Creative Commons licensed and Public Domain performances, sourced from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, the European Archive Foundation, and Musopen. The provenance of specific recordings and midis are described in the metadata file.

About this version:

This particular variant of the MusicNet dataset has been resampled to a 16 kHz-mono-16-bit-wav format, which makes it more suitable for certain audio processing tasks, particularly those that require lower sampling rates. We redistribute this data as a part of YourMT3 project. The license for redistribution is attached.

Moreover, this version of the dataset includes various split options derived from previous works on automatic music transcription as python dictionary (see README.md). Below is a brief description of available split options:

MUSICNET_SPLIT_INFO = { 'train_mt3': [], # the first 300 songs are synth dataset, while the remaining 300 songs are acoustic dataset.

About MusicNet:

The MusicNet dataset, originally released in 2016 by Thickstun et al., "Learning Features of Music from Scratch". It is a collection of music recordings annotated with labels for various tasks, such as automatic music transcription, instrument recognition, and genre classification. The original dataset contains over 330 hours of audio, sourced from various public domain recordings of classical music, and is labeled with instrument activations and note-wise annotations.

About MusicNet EM:

MusicNetEM are refined labels for the MusicNet dataset, in the form of MIDI files. They are aligned with the recordings, with onset timing within 32ms. They were created using an EM process, similar to the one described in the Ben Maman and Amit H. Bermano, "Unaligned Supervision for Automatic Music Transcription in The Wild". Their split (Table 2 of this paper) derived from another paper, Kin Wai Cheuk et al., "ReconVAT: A Semi-Supervised Automatic Music Transcription Framework for Low-Resource Real-World Data".

Ftsos/MusicNet dataset hosted on Hugging Face and contributed by the HF Datasets community

The MusicNet Codex provides canonical linked data references, aka “minted” URIs, for classical music composers. These URIs are associated with recognized reference data sources in Musicology like COPAC, RISM, Grove, the British Library into standard representative pointers for composers.

Basic biographical data is also available (dates of birth and death)

Data is available as Linked Data (RDF) in a number of ways (including a dump of the entire dataset) detailed in the documentation. There is also a standard web interface to search and browse the data.

The net cash of Indigo Books & Music with headquarters in Canada amounted to 77.8 million Canadian dollars in 2022. The reported fiscal year ends on March 27.Compared to the earliest depicted value from 2018 this is a total increase by approximately 80.59 million Canadian dollars. The trend from 2018 to 2022 shows, however, that this increase did not happen continuously.

In 2024, South Korean music label Source Music posted a net profit of around **** billion South Korean won. While this represents a decrease from the previous year, it was also the second year of profit. Their only signed artist for the past few years, K-pop girl group GFRIEND disbanded in May of 2021, leaving the label without a direct income stream for the rest of the year. Having been acquired by HYBE Corporation in 2019, the label debuted a new girl group, LE SSERAFIM, in May of 2022.
