dataset can be downloaded from http://marsyasweb.appspot.com/download/data_sets/. This dataset was used for the well known paper in genre classification " Musical genre classification of audio signals " by G. Tzanetakis and P. Cook in IEEE Transactions on Audio and Speech Processing 2002.
Unfortunately the database was collected gradually and very early on in my research so I have no titles (and obviously no copyright permission etc). The files were collected in 2000-2001 from a variety of sources including personal CDs, radio, microphone recordings, in order to represent a variety of recording conditions. Nevetheless I have been providing it to researchers upon request mainly for comparison purposes etc. Please contact George Tzanetakis (gtzan@cs.uvic.ca) if you intend to publish experimental results using this dataset.
The dataset consists of 1000 audio tracks each 30 seconds long. It contains 10 genres, each represented by 100 tracks.
