> Unfortunately, the resolution of the data that we collect in AcousticBrainz is not enough to be used in this type of machine learning, and so we were unable to try these new techniques using the data that we had available in the database.
Reading between the lines here -- AcousticBrainz can't store copies of any actual audio for copyright reasons. Instead they store various fingerprints and derived properties of the audio signal (example[1]). When the project started they didn't anticipate the right kind of input data required for these newest AI techniques, so to make progress they would have to throw away 7 years of data and start over their data acquisition from scratch. Instead they decided to shut it down.
Just another way the RIAA is making the world a worse place to live.
