Welcome to Stack Overflow!

As it says in the link you used, Echonest is deprecating their song identification capabilities on their API starting January 5, 2015. So to answer your 2nd question first... you can't use their APIs anymore.

As for your 1st question, that's a fairly broad question and loaded with opinion (two things that stack overflow frowns upon). But I'll try my best.

Mooma.sh was mentioned as an alternative song identification service further down the page in the link that you posted. However, they ALSO are shutting down their public API due to server load. They provided steps for you to set up and start your own server, here.

Gracenote could be another possible alternative. I have tried neither of these APIs, but if you do some quick googling you should be able to find a service that best fits your needs.

Good luck!
