Is it ok to make a dataset that includes data from youtube?

Hello I have just started learning about music separation and machine learning. Would it be ok to include things from youtube videos in a dataset? Im not sure if the quality of youtube videos make this a bad idea because they are compressed?

Any help is appreciated, thanks for reading !!

Hi @kimberley_jensen,

You can also check out other datasets mentioned on this forum posts:

Meanwhile, a nice list of existing datasets is present here:

w.r.t. Youtube, it may not be clean enough but we would never know without trying it out. :wink:
Please do share your learnings with the community in case you try this. :raised_hands:
