Samplette

Samplette is a web-based tool for discovering and sampling music. It connects directly to YouTube, letting you search for tracks, listen to them, and build personal playlists from your finds. The interface shows detailed track information like artist, release year, and genre, which helps with organization and cataloging. It's built for the practical task of collecting audio references in one place.

You can create multiple playlists, tag your finds, and filter your searches to narrow down results. A standout feature is the session history, which keeps a record of the last 1,000 tracks you've played, so you never lose a discovery. While it doesn't generate music, it provides the controls to skip, rewind, and manage playback as you audition samples.

This tool is most useful for music producers digging for samples, DJs researching sets, or anyone who needs to systematically collect and organize music references. It turns the often chaotic process of browsing YouTube for music into a more structured workflow, making it easier to go from finding a track to saving it for later use in a project.
