Product Description
The Echo Nest powers more intelligent music applications for developers and online music services. At developer.echonest.com, we are launching a developer community built around free, open access to a comprehensive set of web services APIs. The site will offer developers a broad range of powerful music recommendation, search, remix, mash-up and analytic tools as well as a forum to showcase some of the coolest music apps on the web.
Market Opportunity
Online music is exploding, with over 500,000 unique users accessing music content on the web every minute an CAGR of 35%. Online music stakeholders - social networks, streaming services, editorial sites, mobile entertainment and paid music services are engaged in a high-stakes battle for users attention span.
DEMO Says
The Echo Nest is much more than the music matching engines we’ve seen that compare signatures of recorded music. The Musical Brain learns about music from the vast repository of audio and text-based information on the Internet. The power of this technology is evidenced in the recommendation engine at developer.echonest.com, and that power is unleashed in the toolset the company is now opening to the broad Web developer community.
