I'm getting the above error, where can I get the metadata.csv? Please let me know the format of the data. Thanks.

Dear @ksl103177 ,

Hello. Is the 'C:\NaturalSpeech2\dataset' you specified where the LJSpeech dataset is located?
metadata.csv is located at the root of the dataset. To be exact, the unzipped LJSpeech dataset consists of one folder and two files as follows.

-wavs
-metadata.csv
-README

If there is no metadata.csv in your LJSpeech dataset, download it again from here and unzip it.

Best regards.

Oh, thank you, I have another question.
In the Hyper_Parameters.yaml file, should I use the Path: 'C:\NaturalSpeech2\LJSpeech-1.1\wavs' path in Train_pattern as the train data and the data in Eval_Pattern should be in the same format?

[CODEJIN]

No. The train and eval paths are the locations where the training data is generated. Pattern_Generator.py outputs a completely separate pickled file from the dataset and inputs it into the specified folder. Therefore, the train and eval paths should not be LJSpeech-1.1 but rather a new folder should be designated.
