echonest: Turn off song identification #1121

@sampsyo

Description

@sampsyo

The EN API is turning off fingerprint and upload-based song identification. In other words, Echoprint is dead, and it also looks like the upload-to-analyze API will no longer include an ID for fetching the bulk of the metadata.

So we should probably remove these parts of the Echo Nest plugin:

  • Fingerprinting
  • Uploading
  • Transcoding for upload
  • Truncation for upload

which leaves matching by MBID and conventional metadata (artist/title).

Probably not a bad idea to start exploring an AcousticBrainz plugin as a replacement…
