Obtaining the Dataset
aakash budhiraja
I am working as an independent on this dataset as a part of my summer project. Is there a way I could obtain the data,maybe in a hard disk, because I do not have the resources at hand to download the entire 280gb dataset from the internet?
The dataset available at infochimps can be downloaded in smaller chunks, but actually, I was working on the MSD challenge on Kaggle to be more precise, and since the kaggle dataset of song ids is a subset of the entire dataset, I would like to work with the entire dataset. Also, it is not clear as to which part of the MSD does the kaggle data set belong to.
Or would be sufficient to work with the subset?
Thank You

Hi Aakash Budhiraja,
I believe http://www.kaggle.com/c/msdchallenge is the challenge you’re referring to. If so, then the challenge is to use existing user information about some of the songs in MSD to predict which other songs in MSD a given user would listen to. In fact, they give you half of the listening data for many users, and you’re to predict the other half for the same users. So yes, you would use the entire MSD and try to find a subset of songs from it based on another subset given to you. And no, it would not be sufficient to work with a subset. Furthermore, Kaggle gives you song IDs only, and MSD contains the pairing of song IDs with corresponding song metadata, which could be helpful to making more accurate predictions.
I hope this helps.
