`gtzan_genre` has broken link with default version

giovana-morais commented 2 years ago

Steps to reproduce:

Running

gtzan = mirdata.initialize("gtzan_genre", version="default")
gtzan.download()

should return this

INFO: Downloading ['all', 'tempo_beat_annotations'] to /Users/gv2167/mir_datasets/gtzan_genre
INFO: [all] downloading genres.tar.gz

ERROR: 
                      mirdata failed to download the dataset from http://opihi.cs.uvic.ca/sound/genres.tar.gz!
                      Please try again in a few minutes.
                      If this error persists, please raise an issue at
                      https://github.com/mir-dataset-loaders/mirdata,
                      and tag it with 'broken-link'.

This error appear when trying to use versions default, 1.0 and test. I'm able to download and use the mini version though.

FYI: The only alternative link I found that actually worked was the Kaggle one. Other links, such as http://marsyas.info/downloads/datasets.html and http://opihi.cs.uvic.ca/sound/genres.tar.gz, don't load anything.

I don't know if it's temporary or permanent. We should contact the dataset authors.

Ok, I'm on it. :shipit:

stopped by with the same issue, will check back to see if there is a resolution. Thanks!

nkundiushuti commented 2 years ago

this dataset is not public anymore, so the download link needs to be removed (similarly to ikala)
