# JAME Dataset
**JAME** (JAM Evaluation) is a comprehensive music dataset containing 250 high-quality music tracks designed for **standardized evaluation of song generation models**.
This dataset is part of **Project Jamify** developed by [DeCLaRe Lab](https://github.com/declare-lab/jamify/tree/main) and supports research in controllable music generation.
## Dataset Overview
- **Total Tracks**: 250 carefully curated tracks (50 per genre, 5 genres total)
