Introduction

This is a hack from link Music Hack Day London 2010.

It pulls the hottest downloadable uncompressed cc-licensed tracks from SoundCloud, analyses them with EchoNest, slices them on a bar basis with Sox and uploads the slices again to SoundCloud.

This hack is similar to the link SoundEchoCloudNest hack by Hannes and uses the EchoNest API wrapper fork by him.
