# About this Repository

This repository is a re-upload of [the FreeSound.org dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Meranti/CLAP_freesound) as curated by LAION for [the larger LAION-Audio-630k dataset](https://github.com/LAION-AI/audio-dataset/blob/main/laion-audio-630k/), with the following changes:
1. Limited columns to only the audio and basic metadata.
2. Incorporated necessary information for licensing and attribution.
3. Removed ambiguously licensed samples, amounting to around 1,000 total samples.

## What about download links?

Links were ommitted for the sake of size, as they can be constructed from the data already present. To reconstruct a link, use the following format:

`https://freesound.org/people/{username}/sound/{id}`

# About this Dataset

> LAION-Audio-630K is a large-scale audio-text dataset consisting of 633,526 pairs with the total duration of 4,325.39 hours. It contains audios of human activities, natural sounds and audio effects, consisting of 8 data sources (see the data source table below) from publicly available websites. We collect these datasets by downloading audios and relevant text descriptions. Based on our current knowledge, LAION-Audio-630K is the largest audio-text dataset publicly available and a magnitude larger than previous audio-text datasets (by 2022-11-05).
