Instead of include samples in a frees software what about use existing open collections

Solution1 : use web collections via api directly from the music application
Solution 2 : create a gateway application that permits to collect, rate, organize my
preferred tracks/loops (eventually from several sites) and a standard interface to be used
by all other musci software

It's handy that it comes with a bunch of samples, but why can't we
make
a sample pack and make that easy to install on
Linux and add it
(automatically) to let's say Qtractor?
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.
