More Cowbell.dj
Upload a song, experience the fever. Adds a synchronized cowbell and Walken track to any song. Part of The Echo Nest's launch of its developer site where anyone can access our audio analysis, search capabilites or data feeds (tags / reviews / posts for any artist, all automatically.) The Python code of the cowbell renderer is also now available as an example in the open-source Echo Nest Remix API. Examples: Steely Dan, Raymond Scott
(NB: if you have a problem uploading a track, just try again. We're still working through some file encoding issues on the web app. It should work most of the time)

OK, unstuck the queue and booted up a few more machines. Internet: bring it on, quietly. You may have to wait a few minutes until yours is ready.

Yay for unsticking. Do you have a plan for making the archives browsable? At the moment, if it didn't happen in the last ten minutes, it didn't happen.

we're trying to encourage the PITYB (post-it-to-your-blog) component of it instead of making that site be the repository... if you like a cowbell, there's a button there that adds it to various places. but I agree, i love just refreshing the recent page all day...

just for you cortex, because I like the cut of your jib, i made the recent 20 not 10
# THIS ONE IS FOR CORTEX
last20 = Track.objects.filter(status='Y').order_by('-rendered')[:20]

Heh. Thanks, it's a jib I've put many hard hours into tailoring.
