    What’s the best approach for this? I’ve found a site with an archive full of old sample CDs (not sure if I can post here) but I’m after a very specific version of the old Xstatic Goldmine CDs that had each of the samples split into individual files rather than long wav files and organised into categories (it was a special edition version they released)

    I have trawled through eBay and even been in contact with the makers of the original CDs but they aren’t willing to sell them anymore

    This is not a request thread by the way, I’m just wondering if anybody can point me to any specific sites that would either sell or share this kind of thing

    Thanks :)

    there was a user named KROCK, which was running a page, which had all kinds of old sample cd releases.
    But i cant remember, how the page was called. You could look there or request the stuff on the sister page, im sure people have backed them up somewhere.

    Which kind of sample cds are we talking about?

    ZERO G had lots of very cool old sample cds. datafile 1-3 for example

    Sadly, that website seems to lack a lot of old content.

    Yeah they are the wrong versions unfortunately, most people aren’t aware of the special edition ones

    Thanks dude but I have all these including ones I have split myself, still not what I’m after unfortunately as these ones have been categorised etc (see my picture above)

    Tz7iso uploaded the ones I’m after like 20 years ago on Audiofarm (which is now long gone I believe)
