“Says The Echo Nest CTO Brian Whitman: ‘Music fingerprinting
should belong to the internet. It should be a service that every
developer can rely on without worrying about licensing fees or
complicated database implementations. The Echo Nest is uniquely
positioned to open its best-in-class fingerprinting technology and
music resolution data to the public. Any music experience, from a
streaming cloud service to a social music game can now immediately
include music recognition. We’re giving people
the client and server along with the data, and we
can’t wait to see what they build with
this’.”
