A Million Song Dataset just released by The Echo Nest music application company. The Million Song Dataset was developed mainly by Brian Whitman and Paul Lamere of The Echo Nest and Daniel P.W. Ellis and Thierry Bertin-Mahieux of LabROSA, with hosting by Infochimps and funding from the National Science Foundation.The dataset is "freely-available collection of audio features and metadata for a million contemporary popular music tracks," being analyzed by Columbia University's Lab ROSA, aka the Laboratory for the Recognition and Organization of Speech and Audio. And the Holy Grail is to use this treasure trove to develop a new generation of Music Information Retrieval services—venues that pay attention to what you are listening, analyze the components, and offer up new songs and compositions that you'll like. And that "freely available" bit means that you can download the dataset here.
