oh... :S... well then somebody will have to do the COPY&PASTE for us! muahhahaa... and try to figure out about the space in the room. I just recomended that because is the way to save a loooot of space. Specialy when you have lots of instruments in the same FTM. Anyway, if this will go this way i will do my ftm ASAP!!! :DDDD.

Indeed, a single ftm would save space if people reused instruments a lot, but... naah.
In case space becomes an issue I still have a few tricks up my sleeve, teehee. Don't worry, go make awesome tunes!

Awesome that there's no shared FTM, that would be such a hazzle, are there any limitations in filesize or number of songs in the rom/cart? I'm very interested in this but i think i wont be able to deliver quality stuff before july ):

The maximum size the playback engine supports is 16k per tune (=music.bin). I expect the average tune to take up around 6k, though. A little more if people are really ambitious.
That would mean about 40 tunes on a 256kb rom. Not sure if we can find a lot of donor carts that support such huge roms. We should look into that before it's too late!
Also, all tunes could be compressed. I tested lz77 compression on Blitz Lunar's track which effectively halved its size. Shouldn't be impossible to get the player to work with that.

I have never had problems finding 256k donor carts with the list provided on the link above, main problem would be time. I am tempted to see if there is a electronic guy around my area who has a desoldering gun who is willing to desolder for me, its a right time consuming bitch.
edit: I totally just forgot about mappers, making my post kinda worthless
