The database is divided into 17 genres, each with an annotation file containing genre classification labels. The processed dataset consists of spectrogram slices converted from all audio, with three levels of labels: Level 1 (2-class: classical vs. non-classical); Level 2 (9-class: Symphony, Opera, Solo, Chamber, Pop, Dance_and_house, Indie, Soul_or_r_and_b, Rock); Level 3 (16-class: partially listed).

Why this is hard to get on your own

In music genre classification tasks, there is a lack of publicly available datasets with clear and hierarchical annotations. This dataset provides a three-level label system for multi-granularity classification research.
