The discovery of new songs or artists has not remained constant; it has changed due to the ever-changing music industry. The “Samples” feature is one of the latest additions to music discovery, purporting to make the overall experience easier.
This application enables users to search for samples applied to a given track to investigate their provenance and source material.
Several listeners learned about the existence of these specific samples, enhancing their listening experience. At the same time, respecting music and its history becomes far easier.
This is the basic idea behind the Samples feature, an innovative tool for finding new music. It uses a smart algorithm to select a collection of short music video pieces.
Samples build on some features of the YouTube Music library to recommend new cheap artists, genres, and songs. The following approach makes music discovery an exclusive and continual fun affair. It is possible by providing an endless array of enthralling new music.
Personalized Feed: Collection of short clips of music videos based on selected users’ listening history.
Short-Form Video: Made ACP of website and enabled attractive video teaser of songs for playback.
Vertical Swipe Navigation: You can discover new music with just a single swipe in the vertical direction.
YouTube Shorts Integration: Supplements YouTube Shorts in a way that makes it fun.
Music Discovery familiarizes you with new artists and kinds/tracks of music.
Of course, let’s move on to how to modify the user interface associated with the Samples feature.
Old Artist Page Design: The previous layout of the artist page is built around textual content. It includes the artist's bio, discography, and the top tracks.
New Artist Page Design: All tunings are accomplished for the artist page. The new addition to this page is Samples that make a motion. As for now, it’s focused largely on showing parts of the song or music video for its lyrics. That will allow users to move from one track to another and listen to previews of the tracks.
Similarity to Other List Carousels: The samples on the artist page are the same as the list carousels recently added to the Home feed. For instance, “Quick picks,” “Trending,” and “Long listens.” These carousels also consist of short-form video previews and Scrolling-down options. Therefore, the same interface has been maintained throughout the application.
