Hi,

I was wondering why certain tracks are missing the beat features (for example track ID TRBLXAV128F92C2AD9)? I'm trying to extract beat-aligned chromagrams.

Thanks,

Cian

Hi Cian,

no major reason; or rather, a ton of small issues could have caused this:

- connexion error while downloading

- bug or crash during a "dataset building script" (there was a lot of moving data around in the beginning)

- the song didn't have EchoNest beat because they could not be computed

- the song didn't have EchoNest beat because of a bug / issue

- … and I'm probably forgetting some

The MSD is real data, and real data is messy. I wouldn't read too much into it, unless you find a correlation with other features (e.g. small duration, a specific genre, …)

Cheers!

Thierry
