Thanks for posting this, @camtarn - I launched about 6 months ago and tried HN back then, too. Reddit ate it up, but HN wasn't all that interested. I've since written a bunch of postmortem blog posts, although the site is now running stronger than ever. They may be of more interest: http://petersobot.com/blog/the-wub-machine-v20/ http://petersobot.com/blog/the-wub-machine-v20/ (Also, the site is mostly open source: http://github.com/psobot/wub-machine http://github.com/psobot/wub-machine)

Yeah, I ended up on the blog after I posted this... great to see that it got picked up by Reddit at least :) The Echo Nest API looks amazing - I'd briefly glanced at it and noticed the metadata APIs, but didn't realise it actually processed audio data too. Also, reading through source code with 'wub wub wub' sprinkled liberally through it is hilarious and brings to mind a dubstep remix of the source code... have you ever tried feeding the Wub Machine with its own source code read out via a voice synth? :)
