When compiling clementine 1.3.1 from source, it insists on having echonest installed.
This dependency is not recorded on https://github.com/clementine-player/Clementine/wiki/Compiling-from-Source (except hidden in the Ubuntu apt-get line).
Please document it, or, even better, make it optional, since e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Echo_Nest only talks about this company in the past tense (as it was bought by spotify).

Probably better to remove it completely, since

As of May 31st, The Echo Nest platform will no longer serve requests and developers will need to move over to the Spotify API.
