Music Tagging

A task that assigns multiple semantic tags such as genre, instrument, mood, or style to a music recording.

Music tagging is a richer and more multi-label form of audio classification. The same track may simultaneously be described as rock, live performance, guitar-heavy, and energetic. This task is highly important for music discovery, recommendation systems, and media archiving. It requires modeling not only the physical properties of sound, but also its cultural and aesthetic dimensions.
