abstract= {We introduce the Million Song Dataset, a freely-available collection of audio features and metadata for a million con- temporary popular music tracks. We describe its creation process, its content, and its possible uses. Attractive fea- tures of the Million Song Database include the range of ex- isting resources to which it is linked, and the fact that it is the largest current research dataset in our field. As an illustra- tion, we present year prediction as an example application, a task that has, until now, been difficult to study owing to the absence of a large set of suitable data. We show positive results on year prediction, and discuss more generally the future development of the dataset.},
