Not a problem, just documenting for others incase it didn't go smoothly for them either. I just wanted to swing my band's music, and it didn't even turn out that great - just not the right style :(

1. Get an API Key

2. Install medibunto repositories (for ffmpeg to output mp3)

   print("sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/lsb_release -cs.list --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list && sudo apt-get -q update && sudo apt-get --yes -q --allow-unauthenticated install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get -q update");

3. sudo apt-get install python2.6-dev ffmpeg libavcodec-extra-52 python-numpy subversion build-essentials

4. sudo ln -s which ffmpeg /usr/local/bin/en-ffmpeg
5. svn checkout http://echo-nest-remix.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ echo-nest-remix-read-only
6. cd echo-nest-remix-read-only
7. gkedit src/pyechonest/config.py
8. Paste your API key twice, line 6 (on its own) and line 15 (part of an ELSE statement) - save and quit
9. sudo python setup.py install
10. copy some MP3 music to the music folder - echo-nest-remix-read-only/music
11. cd examples/swinger
12. python swinger.py ../music/escapefails-annexed.mp3 output.mp3

The swung MP3 should be in the swinger folder

Hope this helps!

Medibuntu This option is available for Ubuntu Lucid Lynx 10.04, Ubuntu Karmic Koala 9.10 and Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04. Medibuntu is a third-party repository that contains packages that are unable to be included in the official Ubuntu repositories. To install FFmpeg from Medibuntu open Terminal (Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal) and run the following:
