Sample packs take time to create and most people who can be bothered want
to sell their efforts.*  There is nothing to stop us from collectively
building a complete sample pack and hosting it online. The cost of the
server is aroundE50/month which gets 20TB of bandwidth.

I am working on such a solution but other things keep getting in the way.
If I had more time/money then I could probably have it done in about 160
hours. At this rate I might get it finished by the end of the year.


* Conveniently ignoring CCMixter and Freesound as an option of course.
