That's awesome. I did notice that Last.FM used to go down fairly often but I don't think it has given me any troubles in at least the last several months, luckily. How have you found the quality of the data from Echo Nest compared to Last.FM?

I didn't realize how extensively you use music semantics in tubalr. I'd say that's not as big of a difference between our products as I originally thought.

Man, EchoNest is the way to go without a doubt. Their library is gigantic and have a free api for non-commercial use, up to 120 request per minute!

Their API has been incredibly easy to use and I feel like the quality of results is far better.

I honestly think we will continue to see apps that take advantage of YouTube's Music content until YouTube can nail their music experience, and I'm not sure if they even want to.
