MusicGenreDB is an extensive collection of 6,291 genre-shaped distinctions as categorized by Spotify. Each song in this repository is associated with a unique ID that links it to detailed metadata. This project serves as an archive and aims to possibly introduce new features in the future to enhance the original concept.

The repository contains two main components:

1. songs/: A folder with 6,291 audio files. Each file is named with a number corresponding to its ID.
2. songs_data.json: A JSON file containing metadata for each song. The structure of the JSON file is as follows:

[
    {
        "id": "SONG ID",
        "genre": "SONG GENRE",
        "url": "SONG URL",
        "title": "ARTIST - SONG NAME",
        "color": "CHOSEN COLOR"
    }
]

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/MusicGenreDB.git
   cd MusicGenreDB

2. Explore the data: You can browse the songs/ folder to access the audio files directly or use the songs_data.json file to retrieve detailed information about each song.

3. Listen to the samples: Each song entry in songs_data.json includes a URL to a Spotify MP3 preview.

We welcome contributions to MusicGenreDB! If you have ideas for new features, improvements, or just want to fix a bug, feel free to submit a pull request or open an issue.
