lovely product, great prices, great philosophy

but as someone who hates subscriptions, this would actually be a really nice subscription - currently i just buy the "all samples from [year - 1]" on black friday instead but i wouldn't mind a more automated / streamlined approach

I was going to say how clever they are to have implemented a subscription without calling it a subscription! For the non-customers out there, you can buy everything for $99, then once a year there’s a deal on all the new samples for $29 or $39.

Those offerings exist as well. See East West Composer Cloud (https://www.soundsonline.com/composercloud) and Musio (https://musio.com/) (full disclaimer: I did some work on the latter). There are also related offerings like Splice for loops and Output Arcade (https://output.com/get-arcade/).
