Exploring Internet Radio Across the Globe With the MIRAGE Online Dashboard

This study presents the Music Informatics for Radio Across the GlobE (MIRAGE) online dashboard, which allows users to access, interact with, and export metadata (e.g., artist name, track title) and musicological features (e.g., instrument list, voice type, key/mode) for 1 million events streaming on 10,000 internet radio stations across the globe. Users can search for stations or events according to several criteria, display, analyze, and listen to the selected station/event lists using interactive visualizations that include embedded links to streaming services, and finally export relevant metadata and visualizations for further study.
