I wonder what kind of data do they have. Why did they say the quality of the data is not good enough for DL? Without concrete information, no one can provide meaningful feedback for them.

You can download their data (much like you can download the MusicBrainz database).

This page explains the data format: https://acousticbrainz.org/data

Looks like they stored computed outputs from the “Essentia” tool, and the values are not accurate, so training a model on top of that will render equally innacurate results.

To improve it you’re [pun not intended] essentially starting from scratch.

Why one would store secondary information instead of the original ones is beyond my comprehension. If I’m about to study human voices, I’d store samples of human voices, compressed maybe but not just the output of some processing program.

Probably copyright / licensing. It's the music industry after all.
