How to process a million songs in 20 minutes
The recently released Million Song Dataset (MSD), a collaborative project between The Echo Nest and Columbia’s LabROSA is a fantastic resource for music researchers. It contains detailed acoustic and contextual data for a million songs. However, getting started with the dataset can be a bit daunting. First of all, the dataset is huge (around 300 gb) which is more than most people want to download
Some preliminary Playlist Survey results
[tweetmeme source= ‘plamere’ only_single=false] I’m conducting a somewhat informal survey on playlisting to compare how well playlists created by an expert radio DJ compare to those generated by a playlisting algorithm and a random number generator. So far, nearly 200 people have taken the survey (Thanks!). Already I’m seeing some very interesting results. Here’s a few tidbits (look for a mor
MeToo – a scrobbler for the room
[tweetmeme source= ‘plamere’ only_single=false] One of the many cool things about working at the Echo Nest is that we have an Sonos audio system with single group playlist for the office. Anyone from the CEO to the greenest intern can add music to the listening queue for everyone to listen to. The office, as a whole has a rather diverse taste in music and as a result I’ve been exposed to lots of
The Echo Nest Song API
This weekend at the Amsterdam Music Hack day we are releasing lots of new stuff. First of all, we opening up beta access to the next version of our APIs. This version is an all new architecture – that I’m rather excited about. Some new features: Performance – api method calls run faster – on average API methods are running 3X faster than the older version. JSON Output – all of our methods now sup
Organize your online music with ExtensionFM
On Friday I installed ExtensionFM– a chrome extension that helps you manage your online music listening. Dan Kantor, the creator, has a little video that shows you how it works: The idea behind ExtensionFM is very simple. When I visit a site that has music ExtensionFM notices and squirrels away all of the links to the music into an iTunes like player: It does all of this work in the background
Using Visualizations for Music Discovery
On Monday, Justin and I will present our magnum opus – a three-hour long tutorial entitled: Using Visualizations for Music Discovery. In this talk we look the various techniques that can be used for visualization of music. We include a survey of the many existing visualizations of music, as well as talk about techniques and algorithms for creating visualizations. My hope is that this talk wil
SoundEchoCloudNest
At the recent Berlin Music Hackday, developer Hannes Tydén developed a mashup between SoundCloud and The Echo Nest, dubbed SoundCloudEchoNest. The program uses the SoundCloud and Echo Nest APIs to automatically annotate your SoundCloud tracks with information such as when the track fades in and fades out, the key, the mode, the overall loudness, time signature and the tempo. Also each Echo Nest
Cool music 2.0 panels at SXSW
I took a tour through the many music 2.0 related panels for SXSW 2010. Here’s my short list of favorites.

In search of the click track
Sometime in the last 10 or 20 years, rock drumming has changed. Many drummers will now don headphones in the studio (and sometimes even for live performances) and synchronize their playing to an electronic metronome – the click track. This allows for easier digital editing of the recording. Since all of the measures are of equal duration, it is easy to move measures or phrases around without
