Reviews and buyer evidence

Do not buy Sample because we praised Sample.

There are not yet enough verified public customer ratings to publish an aggregate score. We would rather show zero than manufacture five stars. Use this page to test the product claim against your own library.

Review status

No aggregate rating is displayed because genuine visible ratings have not yet reached a defensible sample size. When reviews are published, incentivized access will be labeled, criticism will not be removed for being negative, and structured rating markup will match visible data.

The skeptical buyer’s 30-minute test.

Use sounds you routinely fail to find. Do not build the test around Sample’s demo queries.

Minutes 0–5

Choose ten hard retrieval tasks

Include three badly named files, two loops with BPM/key requirements, two “same but different” replacements, two arrangement complements, and one blend between references.

Minutes 5–15

Establish the current baseline

Use Finder or your existing browser. Start a timer for every task. Count previews until the first acceptable result—not just the first click.

Minutes 15–25

Run the same ten tasks in Sample

Use text, similarity, refine, complementary, and blend where appropriate. Keep failed tasks in the score rather than rewriting them away.

Minutes 25–30

Make a purchase decision from evidence

Record median retrieval time, accepted results, previews per result, and subjective interruption. If Sample does not win on your library, use the refund policy.

A scorecard harder than five stars.

Copy this table into a note. Score each task 0–2: failed, usable, or clearly better.
