# 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:

# 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).

# 关于本仓库

本仓库是对[FreeSound.org数据集（FreeSound.org）](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Meranti/CLAP_freesound)的重新上传，该数据集由LAION为构建更大规模的[LAION-Audio-630K数据集](https://github.com/LAION-AI/audio-dataset/blob/main/laion-audio-630k/)所整理，本次上传做了如下调整：
1. 仅保留音频与基础元数据两列内容。
2. 补充了授权与署名所需的必要信息。
3. 移除了授权模糊的样本，总计约1000条。

## 关于下载链接？
