# Million Song Subset (Processed Version)

## Overview
This dataset is a structured extraction of the [Million Song Subset](http://millionsongdataset.com/pages/getting-dataset/#subset), derived from HDF5 files into a tabular format for easier accessibility and analysis.

## Source
- Original dataset: **Million Song Dataset** (LabROSA, Columbia University & The Echo Nest)
- Subset used: **Million Song Subset** (10,000 songs)
- URL: [http://millionsongdataset.com](http://millionsongdataset.com)

## Processing Steps
1. **Extraction**: Used `hdf5_getters.py` to retrieve all available fields.
2. **Parallel Processing**: Optimized extraction with `ProcessPoolExecutor` for speed.
3. **Conversion**: Structured into a Pandas DataFrame.
4. **Storage**: Saved as a Parquet file for efficient usage.

## Format
- **Columns**: Contains all available attributes from the original dataset, including artist metadata, song features, and audio analysis.
- **File Format**: Parquet (optimized for efficient querying & storage).

## Usage
- Load the dataset with Datasets:
  ```python
  from datasets import load_dataset  
  ds = load_dataset("trojblue/million-song-subset")
  ```
- Explore and analyze various musical attributes easily.
