Is calling Echo Nest an API something of a misnomer? Isn't more of a hosted service that has an API?
We are a music data and services company with an API as our main product. I guess there would be many ways to refer to that, and I don't know of many analogs in the space.
Thank you! The more I thought about it I couldn't think of a succinct way to communicate it. It is also very great, BTW.
this was already quite easy with echo nest api + lastfm

what this means -- using EN APIs like recommendation, playlisting, search, fingerprinting, whatever, you can resolve against Rdio track IDs and then play them with their player. If the user is logged in you get full streams, if not, you get 30s samples.
