Any way of downloading small dataset with untrimmed audio files? #39

I would like to download some untrimmed tracks, is there any way besides downloading the full dataset? Unfortunately I don't have 879GiB available :)

A dataset the size of fma_small but with untrimmed tracks would suffice.

Thanks!

Mmhhh that's indeed a limitation of the way I archived the tracks together.

If you're willing to write a small script, you could download the files from the FMA website. There is a track_file column in raw_tracks.csv (to be found in fma_metadata.zip): that's the name of the audio files to be passed to the download_track function. You may have to update the base URL (as FMA got acquired).

I see!

I'll check into this function then.

Thanks
