The required 44.1k sample rate for downloading sounds into SL is insane! I can't find any audio converter that converts to it, and who would want to anyway? I think that we need something more common and of higher quality in our world.

44.1k *sample rate* is standard CD rate. It's a pretty common standard for sampling.

You may be confusing sample rate with bit rate. The bit rate is a function of the compression algorithm, not the sound itself.

I'm ok with the rate, what I don't like is the 10 second allowance.

I don't want to upload massive mp3 files, but would like to have
some samples which could be a minute long.

Would be happy to pay 30Ls for a 30 second uncut sample.

You and me both, bucky.

I'd like them to charge 10L (or more) a second, but let you have the samples as long as you want.

That'd discourage the Stupid Internet Samples, while allowing useful longer samples.
