Would it be possible to get the lat and lon for all the soundscapes. We have it for the bird songs but not the soundscapes.
\nThanks!

I figured it out but is a convoluted path to get there. There is no metadata on the location in the training_soundscapes directory.
\nYou need to go into the test_soundscapes directory. In this directory there are four files that start with 3 letter abbreviation for the 4 soundscape sites.
\nInside each file you will get
\nI assume all the decimal degree coordinate for the soundscapes and \"individual\" calls are in EPSG:4326
\nFrom these files you can then figure out the location of the training soundscapes

I didn't notice this, thanks for pointing it out.
\nI wish host was providing a similar file for train soundscapes so that we know the name of columns for instance. Let me ask.
