SLEEPING-DISCO 9M: A large-scale pre-training dataset for generative music modeling

arXiv:2506.14293v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We present Sleeping-DISCO 9M, a large-scale pre-training dataset for music and song. To the best of our knowledge, there are no open-source high-quality dataset representing popular and well-known songs for generative music modeling tasks such as text-music, music-captioning, singing-voice synthesis, melody reconstruction and cross-model retrieval. Past contributions focused on isolated and constrained factors whose core perspective was to create synthetic or re-recorded music corpus (e.g. GTSinger, M4Singer) and arbitrarily large-scale

Why this matters
Why now

The increased maturity of generative AI models for various modalities is driving the need for corresponding high-quality, large-scale datasets to further advance capabilities.

Why it’s important

Open-source, high-quality datasets for generative music modeling are crucial for accelerating innovation in AI-driven music creation and audio synthesis, democratizing access to powerful tools.

What changes

The availability of a 'popular and well-known' music dataset for training purposes suggests a significant leap towards more realistic and commercially viable AI-generated music and audio applications.
