Your description was kind of verbose, and had a lot of steps, so it looked complicated to me, which is why I was asking for something simple.

Re-reading it now, it sounds like just a shared FTP site or WIKI, perhaps, with a bunch of ogg files in it (isolated tracks and mixes), which certainly is simple. The only "process" it would need, would be a convention on file naming, which you suggested too.

Quixits work pretty much like that too: you download the "mix pack" with the samples, make your track out of those, and then upload it back into that shared FTP site directory. That sure is simple.

The ccmixter/cchost approach might be a bit more user-friendly, but, then again, we're linux users, so who needs user friendly? Making sense out of directory trees full of and script files is what we do every day.

So are you suggesting a directory tree on a shared FTP site then, something like:

        song_or_project_name/
                tracks/
                loops/
                samples/
                mixes/

Or just do that with file naming instead of subdirectories?

Then people can download what they want, make mixes, record new tracks, add loops or samples, etc, as they like, and then just upload whatever they did?

Finally, are you able to host this somewhere?
