Overview
WhoSampled helps listeners trace musical links among songs, including samples, covers and remixes. It can identify music playing nearby and display related tracks, with sample entries that may show where a sample occurs, its type and the part used. Users can scan Spotify and Apple Music libraries for connections; Spotify listeners can also move from Spotify to WhoSampled’s Now Playing feature. Discovery tools include charts, favorites and contextual recommendations, while side-by-side comparisons help examine songs together. Full-length playback is available through YouTube where available, Spotify with Premium, or Apple Music with a subscription. The app listing describes a catalog of over 1,287,000 tracks and 399,000 artists, with daily additions; another database figure states over 1,280,000 tracks and 398,000 artists.

Its Free plan costs 0.00 USD per free and includes text search, track identification, Spotify and Apple Music library scanning, and an ad-free experience.
