I believe there 2 ways to identify an audio track, I can either upload and let the API do the fingerprinting and matching, or I can generate the fingerprint and query the generated fingerprint to the API.
I'm quite new here, so I would like to know how to generate the fingerprint for any given audio track and then submit the fingerprint to the API and obtain metadata of the track in JSON format ( supplied by default I guess )
Also I would like to do everything via PHP. I've found the unofficial php-echonest-api listed on the site ( https://github.com/bshaffer/php-echonest-api ) .. So a sample code on how to do the above mentioned process would be nice !
