Download audio recordings

Download audio recordings from YouTube using the following scripts. Approximately 10,855 audio recordings can be downloaded. There can be audios no longer downloadable.

WORKSPACE="./workspace"
mkdir -p $WORKSPACE
cp "resources/full_music_pieces_youtube_similarity_pianosoloprob.csv" $WORKSPACE/"full_music_pieces_youtube_similarity_pianosoloprob.csv"

# Download all mp3s. Users could split the downloading into parts to speed up the downloading. E.g.,
python3 dataset.py download_youtube_piano_solo --workspace=$WORKSPACE --begin_index=0 --end_index=30000
python3 dataset.py download_youtube_piano_solo --workspace=$WORKSPACE --begin_index=30000 --end_index=60000
python3 dataset.py download_youtube_piano_solo --workspace=$WORKSPACE --begin_index=60000 --end_index=90000

FAQ

If users met "Too many requests! Sleep for 3600 s" when downloading, it means that YouTube has limited the number of videos for downloading. Users could either 1) Wait until YouTube unblock your IP (1 days or a few weeks), or 2) try to use another machine with a different IP for downloading.
