It's actually a "manifest" -- a list of things that are included (well, should be included) -- in any hack event.

Right, ISRC is somewhat useful for glue but is not in wide enough use that it covers the world of music. It also reflects "recordings" not "songs" which actually cause a lot of resolution issues (radio edits, clean vs. explicit and etc.) It

the EN song data is dense in the sense that there is far more "columns" than rows in almost any bulk analysis -- average song unpacks to ~2000 segments, each with ~30 coefficients + global features. however, in paul's case here he's really

can you file an issue on echoprint-codegen or write us at the google group so we don't lose that? That definitely shouldn't be happening, there's an issue somewhere for sure.

it is similar to our closed source FP ENMFP, which you can read about here: http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.185.... The codegen is very different (instead of relying on echo nest chroma, it does its own onset detec

oops! as you can tell, we're pretty good with music data and not so much on the web site design. i'll try to fix it :)

the dumps are in a format that other code understands (fastingest.py) The code data is compressed using zlib (and then base64'd.) It's all on s3-- in our experience, big data dumps like this get relatively little traffic after the original

No relationship. Obviously the intent is the same. Distinction: we handle small pieces of audio from anywhere in the song (20s), ours works "over the air" via microphone, we have a huge database via our content partners.

We invented everything about Echoprint from scratch, working with some awesome scientists and audio guys. I'm not a lawyer and won't comment on legal stuff here though.
