About MSiMDb

MSiMDb stands for Media Samples in Music Database. The goal is to index songs that sample non-musical media — think movies, shows, games, speeches, and so on.

Not to be confused with songs sampling other songs. For example:

• ❌ Eminem’s "Sing for the Moment" (samples Aerosmith) – doesn't belong here
• ✅ Illdisposed’s "Not a Vision – 1991" (samples From Dusk till Dawn) – that’s what we want

No — but yeah, there’s a lot of metal. I’m a metalhead, so the DB reflects that. But all genres are welcome. Anyone can contribute, no login or personal info required.

Artists include media samples for a reason. Sometimes it’s to sound badass. Sometimes it adds meaning. Either way, it blends worlds — and that’s something I love.

With MSiMDb, you might:

• Discover new bands
• Find obscure movies
• Understand a song differently

That’s the point.

You can search by song, artist, movie, or anything else.

• If you search nothing, 10 random entries appear. Refresh for more.
• Click "Search" with an empty field to see everything.
• Entries are sorted by album release year.

Click behavior:

• 🎵 Album cover → opens song on YouTube or Spotify
• 🎬 Movie poster → opens on TMDb
• 🔗 Song name → gets a direct link
• 🎙️ Artist / album / movie, etc. → shows all matching entries
