I'm having trouble figuring out how to adjust the encoding options so that it uses a bitrate of 320k instead of 128k. If it's even possible...I've looked in the documentation and tried a few things but I'm not exactly a seasoned programmer. Thank you!

thanks for the headsup. - P
Can I batch fingerprinting?
Hi everyone,
I was just wondering : what is the maximum number of fingerprints that can be reasonably sent in one "identify" request?
For instance, is 100 ENFMP fingerprints per request a reasonable number (= approx. 100KB through POST data)?
iOS ENMFP and song recognition
Hi, Does ENMFP work on iOS? the library that is available for download here
does NOT contain iOS library. I compiled iOS library from here https://github.com/echonest/echoprint-codegen
However, the code generated cannot be recognised by echonest. BTW, i use billie.raw for testing, I use test.cxx and I can get correct response on Windows using official windows library.
Thanks in advance for any insight
iOS ENMFP and song recognition
ENMFP does not work on iOS. You're confusing ENMFP and echoprint. See here: http://notes.variogr.am/post/27796385927/the-audio-fingerprinting-at-the-echo-nest-faq
cURL request take really too long to respond.
Hello there! I'm a newbie trying to develop an app that identify a song from a file, and I'm using cURL to test the API. This is what i'm doing:
curl -w "@curl-format.txt" -F "api_key=apikey" -F "filetype=mp3" -F "track=@la-woman.mp3""http://developer.echonest.com/api/v4/track/upload"
And it actually respond properly, but take really long to do it. This is my output:
{"response": {"status": {"version": "4.2", "code": 0, "message": "Success"}, "track": {"status": "pending", "song_id": "SODWRES1478C681A72", "title": "L.A. Woman", "artist": "The Doors", "id": "TRQGVEJ13D09AADBC1", "analyzer_version": "3.2.2", "release": "Perception [40th Anniversary Box] [w/bonus tracks]", "audio_md5": "73d3fa49c8981828b439e1cd290967d5", "bitrate": 128, "artist_id": "ARUGU0E1187B9B30F6", "samplerate": 44100, "md5": "9f13f6ffcbef3f369a1cee6a2184dfa0"}}}

As you can see, it took about 442 seconds to return the response!
Would someone please can help me explaining what's going ? I wish I could reduce the response time.
Thanks.
cURL request take really too long to respond.
Hey OtnielAguilar -- you're using the track/upload endpoint instead of the song/identify endpoint. Both will identify a song, but track/upload uploads the song first, whereas with song/identify you can only upload fingerprint codes for a small section of the song and get the same result. Depending on the speed of your connection, it will take a long time to upload a song to our servers.
Appcelerator & EchoNest upload issue
I'm just trying to make a similar app(just considering Titanium too, does it work well for you?), but I don't want to upload the song to the servers, instead I want to upload the fingerprint because is faster than the whole song. Any ideas of how to use the Echoprint code generator on Titanium?
Thanks.
Album Info of tracks
I need to find the album information of the tracks, is it possible now? As I read in an older post that it was not possible then, is there any API for it now?
[Android] Unable to upload the track for identification
Hi, So i am unable to upload the track for identification I have read many posts on the forum and i found that many others have faced the same issue(but i couldn't find a proper solution) Basically the problem arises at Track track = echoNest.uploadTrack(file,true);
After this nothing happens,i don't see any error logs etc. in the libs folder,i have jen.jar and json_simple-1.1.jar I also asked a question on stackoverflow http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25341403/android-java-echonest-file-upload-error Please help Paul.
Seattle Artists Location Categorization
I'm seeing a trend of Seattle artists getting labeled as being from Washington DC. Seattle is in Washington state of course, but there's a big difference...
For example the Tea Cozies are a band from Seattle clearly tagged in wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tea_Cozies and facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/teacozies
This is only coming from one genre and of all ones it could be, "Seattle indie". I'd guess there might be more in other genres.
There are many more examples, all with artist location of: Washington, DC, US
Adjust MP3 Quality
Assuming you are talking about Remix, you should be able to adjust the MP3_BITRATE parameter in remix/src/audio.py to make this happen.
Growing the ENMFP Library?
ENMFP will not be accurate for over-the-air matching. Are you using Echoprint?
Spotify is constantly adding new tracks, and we are integrating our public APIs to match this catalog growth. But there is still some lag in getting new tracks added.

Growing the ENMFP Library?
Thanks for the reply, David. We are using ENMFP. Even if not intended for use with over-the-air, it works pretty well in identifying songs, with an extremely low rate of false id's. Again, most of the issues we have are with it not at all identifying newer releases (from pre-release through a few weeks post-release). We haven't tried with Echoprint, but the dramatically smaller library there is most likely to result in much less than a 60% success rate for us.
We are a non-commercial, public radio station that tends to play newer material. A few "known" artists whose new releases are not yet recognized: Cold War Kids, Jenny Lewis, Tama Impala, Foxygen, Interpol.
Thanks...
Short BIO?
Hello,
Is there a short BIO that I can look up with the API? I am using 'biographies' but it returns a very long BIO of the artist/group (which is very useful and informative, but a bit too long for my requirements).
My alternative is to shorten the string that the API returns, but I was wondering if there wasa shorter (or summary) BIO that I could use?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions
Short BIO?
omega1 - sorry, no - we don't currenlty have short bios. -- P
Album Info of tracks
There's no Echo Nest API for that, but you can use our sister API to get album info for a track. To do this, request get the spotify track id (using the spotify bucket) and then call the spotify API like so:
https://api.spotify.com/v1/tracks/0eGsygTp906u18L0Oimnem
where '0eGsygTp906u18L0Oimnem' is the track ID.
The returned data includes all sorts of album information including cover art, album name and year of release.
Era-specific playlist
Hi Paul,
Is this still in the works? Something I'm working on requires the ability to search for songs by release date (or at least year). I'm really hoping you guys are working on this.
Thanks

Hi ccorner, I assume you are referring to the google groups link given in the post above. Maybe you want to try again. I’ve opened it every time I tried without any trouble. But then, you probably already have.
