Spotify has acquired WhoSampled for an undisclosed amount, sparking fears that users of the community-driven database may inadvertently "sample snitch" on tracks with uncleared samples.

In a statement shared via its website yesterday (November 20), WhoSampled confirmed that it had "joined the Spotify family" as part of the streaming giant's new SongDNA feature.

In another statement, also shared yesterday, Spotify detailed the new feature, which it says will include "expanded song credits" based on WhoSampled's "community-built knowledge."
