As the domain tagatune.org has gone offline, with kind permission of the original authors, we now host the MagnaTagATune dataset at City University. The data was collected using the TagATune game and music from the Magnatune label. Credit for collecting this handy dataset goes to Edith Law, Olivier Gillet, and the authors below. If you use the dataset please cite the following paper in your publications.
