WhoSampled music discovery app makes its way to Android

Android has another music discovery app for music lovers to check out. WhoSampled, by WhoSampled.com Limited, has apparently been a pretty big hit on iOS for the last couple of years.

WhoSampled offers you a gateway into the music world that goes deeper than helping you find music similar to your tastes. Instead of tossing out like-minded artists for you to listen too, WhoSampled has pieced together a database collection of 270,000 tracks and 95,000 artists. The database drives the results, not by genre or style, but by the music itself. Pointing you to where your favorite Eminem song might have been sampled from before Eminem used it. You also get to dive into where samples from your favorite artists have ended up along with remixes and covers that have been done too. Once you dig in to your artists you can listen to the song or sample via YouTube. WhoSampled even offers up the specific time stamp for where the sample occurs.

Key features of WhoSampled include:

– The ability to go on a journey of musical discovery built around a user’s own music collection. Scan a music library and discover amazing connections for the tracks in it
– Compare tracks side-by-side and listen to full‐length tracks, streamed through YouTube (where available)
– Highly detailed information on any sample (sample timing, sample type, part sampled) lets users pinpoint where the sample was used and compare it with the original
