Music Genre Classification with Python – Towards Data Science

Companies nowadays use music classification, either to be able to place recommendations to their customers (such as Spotify, Soundcloud) or simply as a product (for example Shazam). Determining music genres is the first step in that direction. Machine Learning techniques have proved to be quite successful in extracting trends and patterns from the large pool of data. The same principles are applied in Music Analysis also. In this article, we shall study how to analyse an audio/music signal in Python. We shall then utilise the skills learnt to classify music clips into different genres.
