WhoSampled offers an extensive database of songs, samples, covers, remixes, artists, and more. According to its website, it's now tracking more than 1.2 million songs and nearly 622,000 samples. That data is powering Spotify's latest features, like its upcoming music discovery tool SongDNA.

    I hate the culture of startup selling themselves to big companies

      Launched in 2008…

      Is it really a startup if it was started during the Bush administration?

      Spotify itself started in 2006

        This is such a random acquisition. It’s like IMDB buying some film aficionado’s tumblr profile.

      This really does choke innovation, market share and is strongly considered market monopolistic behaviors.

    This sucks to hear. I love sample based music I hope the site doesn’t get worse.
