Unfortunately not, the EchoNest database itself is quite extensive, it's just that there isn't EchoPrint data for most of the songs in it yet. They have around 30 million fingerprints for the ENMFP algorithm, but that's only designed to work with file based fingerprinting not over-the-air microphone stuff. For the EchoPrint algorithm (which does support over-the-air fingerprinting) they only have around 200,000 fingerprints so far.
