Sample Manager

Software for managing a library of audio samples. Can play/preview, tag…

Trying to find a good, free, one for Linux…

• beatnitpicker yPhil-gh/beatnitpicker
  Not updated?
• Samplecat Homepage ayyi/samplecat samplecat-git
  Currently not building for me :(
• SFX Browser resolutiion.itch.io/sfx-browser
  Made in Godot, haven't tried yet. Seems limited.
• SampleHive samplehive/sample-hive
  Pretty busted, but early in development.
• Sononym Homepage
  Expensive (USD$100!), but has unique organisation/searching features (that I don't think I need). Demo's working fine on Arch. Electron.
• Reaper
  Has a tools for managing samples?
• Mixxx Homepage
  DJ software, but has organisation tools.

Options seem much better :(

• ADSR Homepage
  Apparantly words great in Wine¹⁾, but I'm having an annoying glitch where the mouse cursor disappears sometimes. Main annoyances so far are that it requires providing details (you can fake them, even E-mail) to download, and that you can't navigate the sample list with the keyboard.
• COSMOS Homepage
  Needs registration just to get a demo :/ Maybe it's plugin only, no standalone? Not free anymore.
• XO Homepage
  In the same camp as Sononym: has neat feature for navigating big sample libraries that aren't useful to me (people who don't have 1000 kickdrum samples), and is expensive.
• Atlas Homepage
  Ditto.
