Sample Browser or Manager

[autotech]

Greetings all,

Does anyone have a good recommendation for Sample Manager or Sample Browser.
I'm on Manjaro and I have yet to try Samplecat, but I was curious if there are other options for browsing and previewing samples libraries.
Specifically for one-shots (wav or aif).
Any recommendations would be most apprciated.

for distributed samples i wrote / use this:

https://github.com/coderofsalvation/usm

however, for simpler purposes I use wine with:

* samplecatalog.exe (old but fast)
* https://www.kvraudio.com/product/adsr-s ... er-by-adsr (new)

If you know any better GUI free sample-managers let me know.

I need this too. I really wish samplecat would work, but I have a hard time building it. I've only managed to build it on a specific commit, and there it was not working properly, not even showing up in jack.

I have also tried Samplecat, and all I remember it did not turn out as working. Was it failed build or failed to work, don't remember really.

Commercial Sononym seems to work, and it is great software, but I don't use samples that much that I would be willing to pay that amount of money.

If you just want to preview an unaltered sample, check the capabilities of your system's file manager. I have Dolphin and you can set that to auto preview a media file when you select it.

I second @Largos suggestion, I like using a file manager too.

However, if you want to try out, there is a new sample manager in development for Linux (it's still in alpha state): SampleHive

Screenshot suggests something sononym-kind functionality if I am not totally mistaken? (did not try it yet)

For now you can manually edit tags and categories but it has no auto-analysis feature.

Hello
I know it's an old topic, but I'm also searching a software of this kind so the thread is interesting to me, thanks to original contributors!
For other people potentially interested, I've recently found this :
https://www.jamsoft.co.uk/samplesort/
I haven't tested it yet since as a newbie I'm a bit cautious before installing new programs on my fresh Ubunto Studio system (other than ones I already know and I'm sure to use)
Has anyone here already used it?

I tested it. It crashes when I want to select the audio editor in settings.

Thanks for your feedback Axel
On my end, I tried to test it today on my Windows 10 system, but the file was detected as dangerous by my antivirus (AVG) and the installation was blocked. It's probably a false positive, I wrote to the company.

Sononym https://www.sononym.net/ isn't free, but worth considering.
