Dataset Structure

GTZAN is distributed as a single dataset without a predefined training and test split. The information below refers to the single train split that is assigned by default.

Data Instances

An example of GTZAN looks as follows:

{
    "file": "/path/to/cache/genres/blues/blues.00000.wav",
    "audio": {
        "path": "/path/to/cache/genres/blues/blues.00000.wav",
        "array": array(
            [
                0.00732422,
                0.01660156,
                0.00762939,
                ...,

                -0.06417847,
            ],
            dtype=float32,
        ),
        "sampling_rate": 22050,
    },
    "genre": 0,
}

Data Fields

The types associated with each of the data fields is as follows:

• file: a string feature.
• audio: an Audio feature containing the path of the sound file, the decoded waveform in the array field, and the sampling_rate.
• genre: a ClassLabel feature.
