Keep-Forever Sample Library

In plain English

What category is this?

Sellers and shoppers use this to list, sell, fulfill, or buy products online. Here the focus is creator economy.

The idea, briefly

Build one flat monthly price for a royalty-free sample library where nothing you pay for ever expires: unlimited (fair-use) downloads, a balance that survives cancellation, permanent access to everything downloaded, and a one-off 'buy this pack' option for producers who do not want a subscription, with a fixed transparent per-download payout to sample creators. Honest caveats: (1) unlimited downloads are NOT novel - Noiiz already sells an unlimited tier at $19.99/mo and $99/yr; (2) the one-off pack purchase is not a new market capability - buying packs outright is already standard outside Splice (Loopmasters, Plugin Boutique and most labels); so the only potentially differentiated part is the no-expiry, cancel-and-keep policy relative to Splice/Loopcloud point metering, and whether catalog suppliers will license to a newcomer on those terms is unproven.

What buyers expect

People comparing tools like Splice, Loopcloud, Noiiz expect the basics to work without surprise fees or missing pieces. The loud complaints are: Leftover paid credits are deleted after cancellation. Vendor-documented scenario: Splice's own plans FAQ states 'Your remaining credits will expire 28 days after your final billing period ends,' and a seven-year Splice user reports that cancelling would delete 1,343 paid-for credits and that resubscribing starts him from zero. The policy is documented on Splice's opened page; the scale of one user's loss is from a Reddit thread accessed via the PullPush archive because direct Reddit fetch is bot-blocked; and you cannot buy a single sample pack outright on Splice; you must subscribe and accumulate credits.
