My Question or Issue

Dear all,

I am looking for the "Music Streaming Sessions Dataset” (MSSD) that was released on CrowdAI in 2019. When I searched for this dataset I couldn’t find it on the internet, and the link that is used as a referenced in an article I found about it didn’t work for me (http://research.spotify.com/datasets/music-streaming-sessions) because it forwards me to another page on the CrowdAI site. Do you know about something like the MSSD or another big public available dataset that the general Spotify user listens to and if yes, do you know where I can find it online?

You can find the data here: https://www.aicrowd.com/challenges/spotify-sequential-skip-prediction-challenge/dataset_files

You have to log-in first to get to the data.

I'm also interested in using this dataset for research. The AICrowd page above now says "We request you to directly reach out to Spotify Research for access to this dataset.." However, there is no clear point of contact at Spotify Research since it seems that the original authors of the dataset have left Spotify. Help would be appreciated.

Did you perhaps find a solution?

Unfortunately not, I think the dataset is removed
