i vote for this one, if it plays, delete it. (with no .txt anyways)
should not be too hard for a couple people on fast connects to do.
just gotta find volunteers, dev's need time to work on bugs, not sort
files.

set up a simple interface (or bugzilla?) for each file, have min 3 people
try playing it, then comment on each file's bugzilla/report
audio/video works/fails , color probs, crash, etc

how about a backup of all samples? on dvdr or cd? then remove
working ones from mphq?
