Music genre classification

Music genre classification is the process of categorizing songs into different styles or types based on their sound and characteristics, such as rhythm, instruments, and melodies. Using computer algorithms, this analysis detects patterns in audio signals to automatically assign a song to a specific genre like rock, jazz, classical, or pop. This helps organize music collections, improve music recommendations, and assist in discovering new songs. Essentially, it’s a way for technology to understand and sort music in a way similar to how humans recognize different musical styles.
