Finding the genre of a song with Deep Learning

The average library is estimated to have about 7,160 songs. If it takes 3 seconds to classify a song (either by listening or because you already know), a quick back-of-the-envelope calculation gives around 6 hours to classify them all. If you add the time it takes to manually label the song, this can easily go up to 10 hours of manual work. No one wants to do that. In this post, we'll see how we can use Deep Learning to help us in this labour-intensive task.
