AcousticBrainz

AcousticBrainz is a free and open source project that aims to crowd source acoustic information from digital music under an open license.[1] It is a MetaBrainz Foundation project tied to MusicBrainz.

AcousticBrainz has both CLI and GUI clients that can scan music libraries and submit the resulting acoustic data to the AcousticBrainz database. While it is possible to compile the client, the project prefers usage of a binary.[2] From this acoustic data, AcousticBrainz automatically generates information like BPM, key, and timbre. This information has been used to study trends in popular music.[3][4]
