Haha, great. Next stop Sp*tify makes a play for the publishing of all the songs with uncleared samples now they’ve got a massive list of what they all are. I preferred learning about sample use from a neon pink Geocities page anyway.

sample sources were not added to liner notes in every instance and *I believe* were only done when the rights holder requested it. now you’re gonna have it all just baked into the Spotify app including hella erroneous shit. just because

also really cool that the owners of whosampled I'm sure are getting paid handsomely in the acquisition for IP they stole from elsewhere (mostly the-breaks' list)

the whosampled side of the announcement touts "faster moderation"

I remain reticent!
The story slightly buried in this announcement of the launch of SongDNA and the expansion of song credits is that they acquired WhoSampled to do this. I guarantee you there's about to be a slew of bad info attached to music now and it'll be damn near impossible to get corrected.
