· 1p EST update. We're having some unexpected resource issues (sometimes things get more popular than we expect!) and we're currently working through them. You may notice hour-long analysis waits rather than minutes. If you submitted a large block of audio to the queue from a single IP you may have been placed a bit farther back in line.
· We're working on revamping the user experience here. Please send feedback to audioapi@echonest.com
· We had a bug over the weekend that stopped all the queues. Check your codes over today, they are going in but our backlog is pretty big. Be extra patient today.
