I did follow the link to the LM forum, got a "You do not have the required permissions to read topics within this forum." message,
and in order to get over my anger I whipped up an awk one-liner to make Rosea's script into a wikipage.

Actually the best way to keep this data would be a nested array in a git repository:
 - keep link collecting independent from the tool(s) that downloads the files
 - allow for various tools to use this information.

anyway http://wiki.linuxaudio.org/_export/raw/wiki/soundfont_collection is not too hard to be parsed:
every line matching /^  \*/ is a description for the following lines containing just links: /^    \*/

2c,
