Do people think that you should have the ability to add a sample to either more than 1 sample pack, or move a sample from pack to pack. As I understand it at the moment you can't do this.
that won't happen:
packs take up a LOT of hard drive space. Right now, they take up HALF of the hard drive space at freesound.
we need to cache the packs on disk, because generating them "on the fly" isn't possbile.
if it would be possible to add sounds to more than one pack, think of the hard drive space that would be needed...
if you want to see packs listen in combinations with various other files, use tags.

I am greatful for that answer and appreciative of the problems that are associated with that. The samples I am talking about are the Changi Airport samples by digifishmusic. I will just put those in my version of the Qantas Airways pack.
Once again I am greatful for your answer.

But one thing really should be possible:Moving samples (already uploaded ones) to a an existing pack ...
I think so too, but if Bram says that can't happen, it can't happen. As unfortunate as that is...
