Hello

I am working to develop an application to fetch the metadata of an unknown track using the fingerprint and I have a query related to the song/search API I searched for some songs given by an artist (Radiohead) using command curl "http://developer.echonest.com/api/v4/artist/songs?api_key=N6E4NIOVYMTHNDM8J&id=ARH6W4X1187B99274F&format=json&start=0&results=50" I got the response for list of songs by Radiohead.

Now I downloaded the song "Fake plastic Trees" of RadioHead which were mentioned present the above result, from 2 different url's http://www.4shared.com/audio/OMEhgdbU/Radiohead_-_Fake_Plastic_Trees.htm http://www.4shared.com/get/3qY214wm/Radiohead_-_fake_plastic_trees.html

made a query for fingerprint and identify using song/identify but both of them produce the same results {"response": {"status": {"version": "4.2", "code": 0, "message": "Success"}, "songs": []}

OR

Got result: [] No match. This track may not be in the database yet.

It works only for the sample Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" track but apart from that it produces the same

result as told above.

Please tell me whats the issue

no other result is returned..

Harsh - the echoprint database is still rather small (about 200K tracks). We are working to grow it to a full size in the near future. Echoprint related questions are best answered when sent to the echoprint mailing list - https://groups.google.com/group/echoprint -- Paul

but as per my query i made a request for only that song which was given as a result by the database itself so does that mean if the songs are returned by the database even then they are not present with complete information in the Database..? Is there any list of songs available which are already populated in the database.
