Have you checked to see if they're on http://what.cd already? It's the de-facto bittorrent tracker for music. It is possible that many of those clips you have are already on there. And if not, you could seed them yourself :D

He's only collecting sound clips not the complete record/album. You are not allowed to upload these to wcd ;)

Unrelated but since you're into rare/old/obscure recordings, you might appreciate the Cylinder Recording collection at UCSB. http://cylinders.library.ucsb.edu/

As an aside, my university really needs to advertise this more. I first heard of it in passing in http://hummingadifferenttune.blogspot.com/2009/03/chimes-of-... .

Not long after that, like all good things, it kept coming up in my general electives.
