Thanks.  I'm sure it is my tagging for the vast majority of unrecognised
tracks.  I do have quite a lot of electronic/dance music and as you say,
it is full of "feat.", "pres.", "vs." and minor variations in track
names for multiple remixes of the same track.  I've "tidied" a lot of
this up as there can be a lot of inconsistencies with tags from
databases like Gracenote but this probably means the track won't be
recognised by Echonest.

I'll do some investigation in the TEN forums.
