Leave it up to me to not think of the possibility of multiple formats.

That still leaves us with the fact that not all of the Acid loop 
libraries will be usable with Alkali, at least not legally.

I would love to set this up. My programming experience is all in web 
apps, so I can start a preliminary design, at the very least.

This site could also include things like patches for all of our various 
softsynths, and maybe even a tips and tricks section. Any other 
thoughts?

Thank you. It just seems right. :)

At that point, I think I would just render to a straight wave and then 
use LAME. But that's just me. :) Ogg is good, too, though.
