I think this is a great idea - I have been thinking along these lines also. **Warning - geektalk follows !!! MP3 seems like a logical way to share loops, small files, cross-platform etc... People working with images have been doing similar things on the Web - for instance, I used to participate in weekly 2D image-mangling sessions where every Friday night people would meet online on IRC(text chat) or using video conferencing. A set of 'seed images' would be uploading into a shared FTP directory - the seed images could be downloaded, mangled by participants using Photoshop or whatever, and reuploaded. The site ran some server-side scripts to index the FTP directory so people can easily peruse the modification history of each seed image. I think something similar for sound files/loops is a natural - I also wonder if we could 'borrow' the server scripts (I think they are Perl) and modify them to cope with sound files (little modification is probably needed). For those that are interested, the URL is front page : http://www.sito.org/synergy/panic/ FTP browsing interface: http://www.sito.org/synergy/panic/panic-interface.html PS : I have a Linux Apache server that we might be able to use as a server. --------------------------- >I agree about it being a neat idea.
