trakk'em vs Samply
Samply is built as a file system for studios: folders, collaborators, versions, comments, an API and an iOS app. trakk'em is built around the listen: who opened your link, from where, how far they got, and which parts they replayed, with comments, versions and files sent back on the same link.
