medleydb-instruments is a tool used to seemlessly query MedleyDB annotations and instrument metadata.
The MedleyDB 1.0 and 2.0 datasets don't provide annotations or metadata, only raw audio files. The authors provide an official github repo containing metadata, but it is painful to install and can be quite complex to use.
Install with pip or your favorite PyPI package manager.
python -m pip install medleydb-instruments
import medleydb_instruments as mdb
track = mdb.MultiTrack("AcDc_BackInBlack")
# Get a list of instruments present in the track
instrument_list = track.instruments
# Determine if the recording has bleed
has_bleed = track.has_bleed
# Get a dataframe of instrument activations
activations_df = track.activations
