YouTube Music has introduced a new feature called “Samples” to help you find exciting new music. This feature offers short video clips that give you a taste of different songs.
It’s like a sneak peek into the world of music, making it simple to find tunes you’ll enjoy, the company said.
Explore a Variety of Music with Samples
Powered by the vast collection of music videos on YouTube, the Samples feature creates a personalized feed of short videos. This feed takes you on a journey through the diverse range of music available on YouTube Music.
Whether it’s a fresh track from an emerging artist or a hidden gem from a classic musician, you’ll always have something new to enjoy. Each video clip gives you a glimpse of the artist, the music video, and the overall vibe of the song.
You can easily swipe up and down to explore different songs, making music discovery effortless and fun.
More Than Just a Preview
YouTube’s intention behind this feature is to make music discovery a delightful experience. The Samples feature acts as an appetizer that invites you to explore further. Once you find a song you love, you can do more than just listen.
You can add it to your music collection, share it with friends, create playlists, start a radio station, watch the full video, learn more about the album, or even use the song to make your own Short video.

For musicians, the Samples feature is an opportunity to connect with a new audience and build a community on YouTube. This addition enhances YouTube’s role as a platform for music videos, live performances, premieres, and Shorts, fostering dedicated fanbases.
