I've been working on a project where I'm building my own 'Echo Nest' type of API to feed it. I didn't want to rely on their API since I felt I could offer something better/different.
With it, I have been slowly putting together a new music discovery site (http://www.musicplexer.com http://www.musicplexer.com)
It's extremely incomplete at the time, but I'm still building the API the hard way: scraping, analyzing the data, connecting the different sources, and making sense of how it will all go together.
The end result for Musicplexer will be something more than bop.fm, spotify, pandora, etc... I am planning some differentiating features that I don't want to discuss yet! :)
Btw, it's built with Meteor/MongoDB & Mojolicious + EC2/DigitalOcean
And... if enough people visit it, it'll probably die. ;)
- 6cxs2hd6 13y agoDoes Echo Nest have any patents in the area of analysis? That would be my concern about this deal. Not just for you, but for the whole area. I hope this doesn't become more grist for our borked software patent system, wherein this deal mostly benefits only West Texas lawyers and their car dealers and realtors.

- dublinben 13y agoThat's an unfortunate-sounding lists of patents.
- touristtam 13y agothe description of the patent and what they exactly covers seems to be quite generic in the current context
- jggonz 13y agoWow, that's a generic list indeed. I may need to come up with some non-scientific way to tell which songs go well together... Maybe I'll have to take into account the current alignment of the stars.
