Description jms 2016-07-04 12:46:15 UTC 
from what I understood echonest api is gone

http://developer.echonest.com/

At least one package depend on it
media-sound/clementine

I think this package should be removed at some point

If I recall correctly, Nikoli has renounced his maintainership (and the metadata wasn't updated).  If someone else from proxy-maint can confirm, I'd recommend passing this bug off to ssuominen and Project:Sound to make the decision on how to proceed.  Just a side note for the maintainers of clementine (also nikoli, proxy-maint, and sound [should just be sound at this point per previous]), there is an upstream request to make this package an optional dep for clementine https://github.com/clementine-player/Clementine/issues/5384 which you might want to push for/forward.

Looks like Tomahawk uses this.

rick rick # emerge --depclean libechonest -pv

Calculating dependencies... done!

You will need to rebuild tomahawk-9999. It was dropped a month ago:
