When you say the matching is far from perfect, is that at your end or on the part of the echoprint / echonest code? You made tweaks because you found issues wit

  The reason for it being far from perfect is likely a combination of both. If the correct song is indexed there is a high probabiliy for us to find the right match. However if its not, with a bit of bad luck a false positive can happen easily with the default solution (and ours too). Also when analysing a youtube video it can happen that in a 30sec snippet only 10 secs are a matching song and 20 are unrealated or 15 are one matching song the other 15 match a different one in which case 2 tracks or multiple versions of 2 different tracks will have relatively OK scores. Deciding what to consider a match (or whether to try different queries for the same or slightly altered timespan prior to deciding) is not trivial in these cases and our changes are mostly concerning when a match will be considered a match by altering thresholds and how matching truescores will be looked at in relation to other fingerprints true scores. Due to issues like these, specifying a timeframe for analysis will often produce better results. http://static.echonest.com/echoprint_ismir.pdf http://static.echonest.com/echoprint_ismir.pdf
